You're the second person to report it not there. I'd suspect that I mistyped it, but I just cut-and-pasted it from my email to make sure. Maybe you did. What happens if you just write "sync" in the Filter: box? Nothing matches? Do you see firefox pausing a lot under disk load? If you just add that "toolkit.storage.synchronous" value by hand (right-click in the preference window, do "New" -> "Integer"), and write it in as zero, does it change behavior?
