Generic firefox profile on Windows and Linux?

I made myself a dual block of Windows 7 and Debian Stretch, I wanted a common firefox profile.
Moved it to an NTFS disk, which is listed in debian in fstab as mounted.
Launched firefox in both operating systems with the -p parameter, deleted the native profile in the user folder, indicated this one as the default one. Versions of Firefox set the same ESR.
And now I have the following problem, I reboot from Windows to Linux, run firefox there, and there all the add-ons (and I have disabled them since 10), without any warnings. Well, I turned it on, sat in Linux, booted into Windows, I turn on firefox there, again all plugins are disabled. And so on, if you use firefox within the same OS, everything is fine, bookmarks and other things are also stored normally, only add-ons are disabled.
Why is this happening and how to get around it.

Well, no one has ever offered an adequate solution, the meaning of synchronization is if for this the data will immediately be sent to the x.z. which server, and then back to the computer, I found a simpler solution.
There is an extensions.ini file in the profile folder, absolute paths for extensions are registered in it.
But the trouble is, for some reason, not all the extensions that are installed are there.
And now we will copy it somewhere, add the paths to all installed extensions to it (can be found in the extensions folder).
Well, then we just add a script from one line to autorun, which will copy the new extensions.ini to the one in the profile. Everything.

It makes no sense. Just set up the sync.
If there are a lot of bookmarks, then Xmarks will help.
