From your description, you have 3 or 4 user accounts. Firefox creates separate profiles for each user. Could it be that you put the add-ons on one profile, but not the others?

Your current profile shows;

Extensions 

   Adblock Plus 2.6.4 ({d10d0bf8-f5b5-c8b4-a8b2-2b9879e08c5d})
   Adblock Plus Popup-Addon 0.9.2 (adblockpopups@jessehakanen.net)
   BetterPrivacy 1.68 ({d40f5e7b-d2cf-4856-b441-cc613eeffbe3})
   convert2mp3.net YouTube2MP3 Converter 2.5 (info@convert2mp3.net)
   Ghostery 5.3.2 (firefox@ghostery.com)
   RealDownloader 17.0.12 ({7C9C2591-51ED-44FA-8D03-450B92643F95})
   Troubleshooter 1.1a (troubleshooter@mozilla.org)

It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.

Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.json, extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

New files will be created when required.

See "Corrupt extension files":

If you see disabled or not compatible extensions in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end of the Search bar to check if there is a compatibility update available.

If this hasn't helped then also delete possible addons.json and addons.sqlite files.

There is software like Advanced SystemCare with its Surfing Protection feature that can protect files in the Firefox profile folder against changes. If you have such software then check the settings or uninstall this software.
