Did you enable the Add-on sync on all devices? Add-on Sync is disabled by default so if you haven't then you'll need to enable it on each device.

Firefox > Options > In the Sync My section, check the box next to add-ons on each of your computers

How do I choose what information to sync on Firefox?
