Unable to install gnome extensions
Hi,
I have a newly installed CentOS 7 on my new desktop. I am unable to install gnome extensions from https://extensions.gnome.org/. Initially when i tried to toggle the switch to ON, i got no prompt to install the extension. I have gnome-tweak-tool installed.
I read that from Firefox 52 onwards we have to install an add-on called Gnome Shell Integration. I installed it and after that i am not even able to see the toggle switch.
Can someone help?
Thanks.

Re: Unable to install gnome extensions
Hi poky,
Thanks for the reply. I do have the latest gnome-shell-browser-plugin installed (from base). But still the toggle ON/OFF button does not appear in the respective extensions page.
It could be because of the problem i posted here [ur]viewtopic.php?f=48&t=61895l[/url]. In short libnssutils.so is not being detected by some of the packages of my system. I have tried many times, but nothing seems to work.

On OpenSUSE I had to install chrome plugin. Not only it got gnome extensions working inside CHrome, but also fixed issue for new versions of Firefox (just make sure you have all the python 2 components needed - let me know if you won't get it working / won't figure out which are needed, I simply don't remember at this time and would need to check pc in my workshop).

I'm having the same problem. I'm running Firefox 52 ESR on Centos 7. I have installed the Firefox plugin but the chrome-gnome-shell package does not exist for Centos unless I'm missing something. I've even installed EPEL but it's not in there either. Maybe Gnome extensions just don't work in Centos.

Re: Unable to install gnome extensions
Bumping this thread. I'm having the same issue for no good reason. I have a CentOS 7 machine where Gnome shell extensions work fine. But on a new install of 7.6, nothing seems to work. I have the chrome-gnome-shell packages installed, I have the browser extension, I have re-installed the nss-util.
Any ideas? I'm two seconds away from ditching this system.

Re: Unable to install gnome extensions
This worked fine for me until at least CentOS 7.5. (Haven't tried it on CentOS 7.6 yet, will do in the next days.)
