User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:106.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/106.0

Steps to reproduce:

• Use Firefox in one computer

• Install many add-ons(Development add-ons)

• The new add-on icons are added in browser interface aside the URL bar.

• Move icons to a list ">>" manually

• Install the Firefox(or start using clean Firefox) in another PC

• Active Sync of add-ons in both computers

• The add-ons will be installed in a lot

• The icons will be positions automatically aside de url bar

• The URL bar size will be reduced, and you will have a lot of icons to move to ">>" bar manually.

• The new browser can't auto realign icons or browser layout customization like the firs browser already customized and synced.

Actual results:

• Icons are placed aside de URL bar after install
• Manually action are needed to move one a one icons to ">>" list.
• Browser doesn't have way to sync browser customization or toolbar customization, neither icons position/organization.
• The new browser can't auto realign icons or browser layout customization like the firs browser already customized and synced.

Expected results:

• After add-on install, place the new add-on icon automatically in a list of non reorganized icon in toolbar, preventing the flooding of icons in a toolbar.

• Place new add-ons icons in a separated list in browser toolbar automatically.

• Add way to sync interface preferences, browser and toolbars customization if are marked to sync.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Toolkit::Add-ons Manager' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Indeed the new installed add-ons are not moved to ">>" list on second Firefox synced PC.
Marking issue as new since it is an enhancement. Thank you.
