bookmarks are not opening in their own individual tabs. How to correct?

I own three laptops and they are in my Firefox account and synced. I have several bookmarks for site I frequently visit. On two laptops, based on my settings, when I tap a bookmark it opens up in its own tab. This is how I want these to function. For some reason, my third laptop does not behave in this manner. The new bookmark opens up on the tab I am currently in. It gets bumped and the new bookmark opens. This is exactly how I do not want it to perform. What is going on? Also, when I set up settings doesn't it work for all my laptops since I am signed in?

Not every setting is being synced. Check browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInTabs, it should be true.

Finally! Problem solved. Thank you. Why was this feature stuck in "false"? I have settings as one of the items for syncing. The laptop in question which was misbehaving has the same settings/check boxes as my other two and it was just not happening. What could be the cause of this? Clearly a glitch, but an annoying one since I have tried everything on my end (shut down, restart, clear cookies, cache...) without a correction. Your solution is over my head so it is not one I would have done. Just curious, what and where is the setting to have tabs opening individually when I click on a bookmark ?
