[SOLVED] GNOME Extensions post-Firefox Quantum
So, post update of FireFox is there a way to manage our gnome extensions? I've tried building the chrome-gnome-shell plugin from source but that didn't take in either Firefox (ESR and self-install) or Chromium. So with this update how are we supposed to manage this? I've also tried with the Firefox extensions (didn't need it before) but it stilled complained about the lack of a host connection, despite being built.
Apologies if I'm just being blind and the answer is right in front of me.
Cheers,
Mike

Re: GNOME Extensions
Interesting, I'll have to try again. I notice that you have python-txrequests in your list. Is there a reason you're using this over base python-requests? It seems logical that you shouldn't need 3rd-party (even though it's EPEL) packages to use a (should be) native toolset. Maybe I need to uninstall gnome-shell-browser-plugin while I'm at it to be thorough.
Cheers,
Mike

Re: GNOME Extensions
Okay, got it working. I had to uninstall the gnome-shell-browser-plugin and also install the Firefox extension from the Extensions site. Then it started working in Firefox ESR. Thanks for the help! The python-txrequests package isn't necessary.

Mike

Re: GNOME Extensions
Thanks for the hint, I just corrected my post.Mike_Rochefort wrote: ↑2018/08/17 23:49:41I notice that you have python-txrequests in your list. Is there a reason you're using this over base python-requests?
But unfortunately jq is needed and jq is not part of the base repository (yet).It seems logical that you shouldn't need 3rd-party (even though it's EPEL) packages to use a (should be) native toolset.
I forget to mention that I haven't installed gnome-shell-browser-plugin but installed the plugin Firefox was prompting automatically when visiting https://extensions.gnome.org.Maybe I need to uninstall gnome-shell-browser-plugin while I'm at it to be thorough.

Re: [SOLVED] GNOME Extensions post-Firefox Quantum
I completely forgot JQ was in EPEL, missed that when I was reviewing everything.
The browser-plugin was interesting in the past. When using it you didn’t have to install any browser extension. Firefox 52(?) would be natively supported without any explicit add-one or what have you. That’s why chrome-gnome-shell threw me for a loop.
After I uninstalled it I re-ran make install and noticed that although everything was labeled as up-to-date, there was one file installed to /lib{64?}/mozilla/... and I think that was it.

Re: GNOME Extensions
The GIT repository of GNOME has a new URL, so this line needs to be changed to
Code: Select all
git clone https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/chrome-gnome-shell.git
(I've updated my initial post.)

I followed the steps quoted but I get "undefined" message on Firefox. And in chrome I get "Native host has exited."owl102 wrote: ↑2018/08/16 19:54:32This works fine here:
