Firefox Sync not syncing thoroughly

When signing in to Sync on a different computer, I expect Firefox Sync to sync all my settings, like I asked for in the settings. However, this is not the case. When I sign in, my extensions are synced, but not their settings. Also, my favourites bar / Firefox layout isn't synced.

This means it takes me 10 minutes to sign in to all extensions, find the correct Firefox layout, etc. It's a lot of unnecessary, frustrating work. Especially on my school, where signing out from my profile means all Windows settings are reset, meaning I have to do it all over again the day after.

Can Firefox make the Sync more thorough, and also sync my extension settings, taskbar, layout, etc? And is there in the meantime a way to make this work more easy?

Firefox Sync will only sync your extension data if the extension developer has designed it with that ability. Extension developers have the option to save data in the sync storage or just local storage and some opt to save them in the local storage.

Firefox Sync also doesn't sync your browser layout or UI customizations. I'm not entirely sure of the exact reason for this, but I assume it's because some users may not want to sync their layout. For example, I don't want my layout I use on my large computer monitor to be used on my tiny laptop screen.

Hope this gives you some information.
