Sync doesn't sync add-ons installed before sync activation
So I had bookmarks and extensions in my browser, but wasn't using Sync.
After getting a new laptop, I wanted to activate Sync. So I created an account, connected sync with that account, made sure that everything was checked to sync, I then synced.
After that, on my laptop, I installed Firefox, and then added my account.
I saw that none of my bookmarks were synced, same things with my extensions.
On my desktop, I went ahead and saved my bookmarks, deleted them all, and then re-imported the bookmarks. They then were able to successfully sync, on the desktop to the laptop.
But I cannot do the same thing with extensions.

I'm an IT guy, so all this basic stuff I already checked. They are the firsts results from Google.
Anyway,
My firefoxes are all updated. I have 65.0.1 (waiting to restart) on the initial machine. Same on the laptop. (edit : I restarted my firefox, and now the version is 65.0.2)
As for the sync options, everything is checked.
edit : After updating, I forced a Sync (with the sync button), and looking with about:sync, I can now see my extensions. They are now correctly syncing.

Make sure everything you want to sync is selected.
Please list the Firefox versions that are on the sync. Note that some things may not be compatible between different versions.
