Comment(by Larkdg):

 {{{
 Possible solution - disable the "sync" function in TBB?
 }}}

 Downloaded newest update of TBB (x86_64 2.2.3.9-4 on my Debian/testing -
 updated) and

 Preferences -> Sync is NOT enabled (just "Set Up Firefox Sync" & "Pair A
 Device" links.)

 Are you implying taking the links out altogether under Preferences -> Sync
 (making "Pair A Device" the only option?)
