How can I sync the customizations I've done to my browser?

I recently switched from google chrome to Firefox and one of the best features has been the ability to customize buttons and location on the window. The problem is when I try to sync it with another computer my customizations don't sync and I have to either use the default or spend time making it look like my home computer. That second option is not a good solution because I have to do a lot of my school work in a school computer lab that wipes all user data every so often so I would have to redo all the customization every week or so. Not to mention there's no guarantee that I'll have access to the same computer every hour of every day.

I did find a question with an answer on here that looks like what I would want;

"You would need to create sync browser.uiCustomization.state and have a corresponding services.sync.prefs.sync.* that is set to true to include this pref for syncing.

services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.uiCustomization.state = true"

but I have no idea what to do with that.

Any help is appreciated!
