Install Gnome 3 extensions via firefox

I'm using Arch x64 with Gnome 3.2.1 and Firefox 8.0.1 on my laptop, the Firefox Gnome Shell Plugin is installed and activated.

I can browse through the extensions on https://extensions.gnome.org/ and I can see the activate/deactivate switches and trigger them. After that I'm beeing asked if I really want to install this extension but after I click on the install button nothing happens. The "installed extensions" tab on the site is empty. No error message at all. Is there a log file for firefox extensions or gnome itself?

I looked through the log files in /var/log/* but didn't found anything.
On my desktop with the same setup of software the install process works like a charm.

Website

Re: Install Gnome 3 extensions via firefox

check in /.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ if the extensions are there.

it shouldn't happen anything after clicking on install.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: Install Gnome 3 extensions via firefox

I was wandering. Should i use the extensions from this website or from arch [extra] repository?

Re: Install Gnome 3 extensions via firefox

The ~/.xsession-errors told me, that the missing unzip package was the source of this miss behaviour. After installing the unzip package using pacman the installtion process worked very well.

Maybe the unzip package should be a dependency of the gnome package?

@tomasabril
I would recommend using the extensions from the website. I guess the extensions are beeing removed from the repository sooner or later.
The website is still in alpha status, but it will evolve and be more up to date.

I'm not having the "Do you really want to install this extention?" question itself on switching on the extension. Same x64 gnome 3.2.1 and firefox 8

I'm having the same issue, I toggle the ON/OFF switch on any extension and nothing happens, but I'm using x86 gnome 3.2.1 with firefox 8.0.1. The gnome shell integration plugin is enabled

Re: Install Gnome 3 extensions via firefox

I got the package list from kahelos, and installed the following (missing ones got installed), now extensions can be installed from extensions.gnome.org.

application's optional dependencies are not installed which package groups like gnome.

I still don't know which package fixed/enabled the extensions feature for gnome 3.2 and firefox. I installed archlinux64 with xorg, gnome, gnome-extra, gstreamer groups. There are still too many manual minor dependency management in a fresh install.
