Some of my extensions were automatically uninstalled and re-installing them isn't propagating to other devices
The other day, several of my extensions were automatically uninstalled from a bunch of my devices. After going through and reinstalling most of them, the reinstalled extensions don't seem to be propagating to other devices via sync. Newly installed extensions that I didn't have installed before seem to propagate fine. Is there some way I can fix the extension data on my account so that they start syncing properly again?

Extension install and usage issue is to contact their Devs for support on their extension problems.
I can install and use the extensions fine, the problem isn't Firefox isn't syncing which extensions I have installed across devices anymore, at least for some of the extensions I previously had installed and have re-installed after Firefox removed them unprompted.
I think I read somewhere where Addon/Extensions don't sync you have to manually install them on each devices.
They definitely do sync between desktop devices, which is all the relevant ones here, and newly installed extensions automatically appear on other devices as I'd expect, it's just that this set that Firefox decided to automatically uninstall for some reason just don't anymore. Most are from addons.mozilla.org, too, so I don't think their source should be an issue for syncing them.
Did you verify those Addon were compatible with that version of Firefox for that device?
All of the devices are running Linux and the same version of Firefox.
