This says it only detects chrome extensions, so I am not surprised it doesn’t detect your Firefox extensions. Why do you say that Firefox won’t leak extensions at all? Do you have a source for that?
and also for Chrome:
Though it should be noted that this method isn't the only way to detect extensions.
The way it's written doesn't say whether it simply isn't made to work for Firefox or whether it couldn't be made to work for Firefox. Fortunately, the latter appears to be the case.
if you click read more, it mentions that it can't be made to work with firefox
It doesn't really matter if its easy or hard, I'm sure Google already has automated processes in-place to detect all extensions published to the store and fingerprint browsers. They might even have the same for Firefox extensions, who knows.
