Just bought a new laptop and sync'd my Firefox account. Please, oh, please tell me I'm not going to have to visit ~2,000 bookmarked sites to update all the favicons.

Sync isn't a instantaneous backup restore - sometimes the sync takes time to update or restore links. So it will have to be idle to update. If not then you need to read the Firefox FAQ.

You can manually copy across the favicons.sqlite file from your old profile folder into the new one.
