Why aren't extensions shown in my synch???

more options

OK, so I have ALWAYS upgrade to the latest version of Firefox ever since beta 3 (0.3).

The old Synch feature looked like a chore so I didn't bother.

I engaged what I think is the present Synch feature as it only requires a username and password.

I want to also synch my extensions. I viewed the article. It shows the old "Options" presentation (I think) as mine these days shows up in its own tab.

Thar ain't no "Extensions" option... Only Tabs, Bookmarks, Passwords, History, Add-ons, Preferences

1) Have "Extensions" been folded in to "Add-ons"? I suspect so, but I learned not to fly by presumptions if possible...

2) What are the "rules of engagement" for multiple computers? Does the last computer shutting Firefox down rule, or are we always merging everything, or is there some other algorithm???

Many Thanks- -Bruce

Chosen solution

1) Yes, with Sync categories - extensions are add-ons.

2) All computers are equal - everything is merged.
