There is no need to sync if nothing has changed that requires a sync action.
There are some services.sync prefs related to (idle) timers.
Most these prefs are automatically set internally and can't be modified.
There is a Sync Now menu item (button) in the Firefox Account toolbar button drop-down list that allows to initiate a Sync and there are various lastSync prefs for each engine.
