#269958 — Impossible to install extensions with Gnome browser plugin

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

I have a problem with a Gnome browser plugin. I have even created an issue
report (see below).

Unfortunately I don't know if I am the only one with this problem.

If you use Debian 12 stable with Gnome, please let me know about your
experience.

"Hello! I use Debian 12 stable with Gnome 43.9. Recently i have found out
that i am unable to install new extensions with browser plugin "GNOME Shell
integration". I have tried different browsers: Firefox stable, Firefox-ESR,
Chrome. In all of them it is impossible to install a new extension.
Switching a tumbler from "OFF" to "ON" does nothing. Though it is possible
to view already installed extensions and switch them off and on. It is also
possible to install an extension from file.

What i have tried: 1) Switching "Disable version validation" on and off. 2)
Gnome-shell reinstall. 3) gnome-browser-connector reinstall."

Guys, can you please spend 30 seconds and check if it is a universal
problem..?

Hi Jan Krapivin,


I am hoping someone can help you with your answer as I do not use
Gnome or have much experience with Gnome.


Which Debian package or packages are you installing?

I found a list of Debian Gnome packages at
https://packages.debian.org/stable/gnome/


But I was not able to find a  "GNOME Shell integration" package ?

You said, "i am unable to install new extensions with browser plugin
"GNOME Shell integration"".

Could you please explain the steps to reproduce your problem,
including  installation of the browser plugin package, how in the web
browser you add the extension, and an example extension you were not
able to install?

Thanks,

George.

Thank you for your reply. This topic is not about Debian packages, but
about a performance of a plugin for browsers, it is not a Debian package.

https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Projects/GnomeShellIntegration?action=show&redirect=Projects%2FGnomeShellIntegrationForChrome

I am trying to install Gnome extensions with it. They are also not Debian
packages.

https://extensions.gnome.org/about/

The problem can be reproduced only if you use Gnome.

For this you must install a special Gnome *BROWSER* plugin and try to
install any Gnome extension.

It is not a big deal, as I am still able to install Gnome extensions with
regular files.

But i wonder if it is a universal problem, and if it is not, what is wrong
with me, as i haven't done any major changes in OS.

Yes, you are right, maybe. Though Debian is probably a rare (if not the
only) distro that still uses Gnome 43.9, which is, as i use Debian, my
case. And (maybe) a problem?

I searched for gnome in https://packages.debian.org/index
and got 65 package matches for bookworm. I repeated for
trixie and got 63 matches. Finally I tried sid and got
94 matches. However, I failed to find the string 43.9
on any of these pages. How do you come by it? (I don't
run gnome myself.)

Cheers,
David.

On gnome you can just run

$ *gnome-shell --version*

So maybe a Gnome forum or list or one about the specific plugin or even
one about the browser is a better place to look for help than a debian
mailing list?

If snap or flatpak sanboxing is involved then the following may be relevant:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/1661935
Summary: Snap: cannot install/manage extensions from 
extensions.gnome.org → Snap does not support NativeMessaging

P.S. Currently I do not have a VM with Gnome.
