When rebuilding my profile, sync restores the installed extensions, but not my dictionaries. Can you please include installed dictionaries as well?

People have been asking for this for at least 16 years:

Mozilla seems not to have the developers to do this.

At this time, my only choice is to use a cron job to copy the file to a FreeFileSync managed folder for Google Drive.
A nice Firefox solution would be to export the file on shutdown like it does for bookmarks.html.
These are made up
user_pref("browser.persdict.autoExportText", true);
// place a copy on Google Drive on shutdown
user_pref("browser.persdict.dat", "/media/gdrive/firefox/dictionary/persdict.dat");
