How do I prevent the bookmar toolbar arrangement from being messed up?

Firefox sync regularly messes up the arrangement (order) of bookmarks in the bookmarks toolbar of my main laptop, whenever I use my travel netbook in between. I have arranged about 50 bookmarks there on full HD screen by removing the labels so every time it is a huge undertaking to get them back into order.

Ideally the sync would just pay attention to bookmark toolbar order and how I want it to be the same on every machine (is there no option for that?) As an alternative, is there a way (or add-on) to lock down the arrangement for a local firefox installation (such as my main laptop)? Alternatively, I would also be fine if different bookmark folders could be assigned to the local toolbar on each FF installation (i.e., a different, independent toolbar for my main laptop and travel netbook) through an add-on or other method. Just please, Firefox, leave my toolbar arrangement alone!
