Cannot see extensions Gnome Software

Hi,

im made a clean install of archlinux and install gnome, gnome-extra and gnome-software-packagekit-plugin (and some other package like xorg-server, firefox, libreoffice, etc...) When im start Gnome software im see the flatpak and Archlinux package, but not Gnome extension. Im try to made some addon search but he dont find nothing. From the archwiki im read:

Note: Extensions from extensions.gnome.org can be installed right away with gnome-software. For other browsers, it is required to install chrome-gnome-shell and the appropriate browser extension.

How im can made for install Gnome extensions from gnome-software?
Maybe im are missing some other package to install?

Thank you

Gnome shell extensions can be found at extensions.gnome.org. In order to install them you will need to install a "browser connector". I use chrome so mine is chrome-gnome-shell which is in the Arch extra repository. I'm not sure if you need to do anything with firefox but once you navigate to the url the browser will inform you.

This is other option and for firefox you need to also install https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo … tegration/but whats in find is install it from gnome-software like this image:

Re: Cannot see extensions Gnome Software

I don't use gnome-software to install anything. I only use pacman to pull from the Arch repositories and search the AUR by keyword - you can search both for gnome-shell and you will find packages for extensions. I always install shell extensions via browser from url extensions.gnome.org - there is nothing with the Arch repositories this is just the way I have always done it.
