firefox failed to sync some add-ons
So I have firefox on 2 computers. On one of the computers, there are 6 add-ons. But on the other computer, there are only 5. So 1 add-on didn't sync to the other computer. BTW, the add-on is "proxy swichyomega".
and by the way I've experiencing add-on sync problem for a very long time and for various add-ons, which is very annoying and very disappointing. I switched to Chrome in the last few months, now I'm giving firefox another try and I'm experiencing this.
and furthermore, the process for creating this post really sucks. why do I need to create an account? why not just use the sync account? why so many steps with each step displaying over-sized text?
and BTW, here's a piece of the last sync log from the computer that's missing the add-on:

Hi Pkshadow, Thanks for your reply. but unfortunately it does not help me.
I think I know perfectly well how to setup and use sync, so the links you provided do not help me.
The problem is very simple, one add-on does not get synced to my other computers while most add-ons do.
I turned on option "services.sync.log.appender.file.logOnSuccess" and performed "sync now" on both ends, and I could see a "success-sync-xxx.txt" on both ends , which means both FF instances think they have synced with cloud successfully, which makes me believe this is a bug. will report it.
