When changing sync preferences in about:config, the changes are not reflected immediately.

2.Connect and disconnected from the sync server.
3.Go in about:config and modify some sync related preferences (services.sync.pref.sync.privacy.clearOnShutdown.sessions set to false then set it back to true.

Actual Results:
Changes are reflected with a big delay (up to 5 min).

Expected Results:
Sync related preferences changes in about:config should be reflected immediately.
