I just freshly installed the latest Firefox on two machines. Created a new account on one of them and started to download some add-ons and changed the preferences, then got to the other and signed in. It finished syncing but none of my changes were applied to the second machine.

Chosen solution

Right now the add-ons got synced but the customization I did to the looks of it did not. These customizations are: moving the home button right next to the back button and removing the search bar.

Conclusion: it takes a while(about an hour!!!!!) to sync these stuff, at least that is what happened with me though my connection was normal and not slow at all.
