Firefox is not offering the Sync add-on to Firefox 3.6 users any longer. If you update to a Firefox 4+ version, you'll be able to use Sync - it is built into the Firefox 4+ versions and doesn't need an add-on.

The Sync service has been expanded to include add-ons (in the Nightly 12.0 versions for now) within the last week or so, and I suspect Mozilla didn't want to update the Sync add-on for a version which won't be supported for much longer - 3.6 support is slated to end in April.
