Is it possible to sync Firefox settings such as Search options?

I've just decided to switch to Firefox from Chrome, and have made an account to use Firefox sync. However, I noticed that after syncing, I don't have some of my search shortcuts that are listed in the "One-click search engines" section in Settings > Search. This means that I don't have some of my search shortcuts, and have to set them up again manually, which is a little bit annoying. I do, however, have search shortcuts that were made by right clicking on search boxes and added via the bookmark system. Is there any way to sync search settings too?

I did find another question on this topic, but it was from 2016, so I wondered if the answer to the original question (there is no way to sync search settings, but it might get added) had changed in the past couple of years, and if not, are there plans to add the option to sync settings.

It's

and it looks like there's no plans to implement this in the predictable future.
