I am signed-in to my Firefox sync on my work and home computer, including syncing add-ons.

I was testing limited add-on installation to approved add-ons in our enterprise on my work computer and inadvertently removed all of my extensions. Without thinking it through I performed a manual Firefox sync on my work computer, which I fear has synced the extension removal to Firefox sync (the opposite of what I wanted to happen).

When I got home I immediately removed add-ons from Firefox Sync, fortunately it seems before any changes synced to my home computer. So I have all of my original add-ons on my home computer, with add-on sync turned OFF.

What's the easiest way of restoring the extensions to my work computer from my home computer? If I enable sync of add-ons on my home computer, will it

  1. sync my good add-on configuration from my home computer to my work computer, or
  2. sync my bad add-on configuration from my work computer to my home computer?
