[SOLVED] Gnome Shell Extensions won't install from website
When I go to https://extensions.gnome.org/ from either Chromium or Firefox, extensions fail to install. If I click the toggle to turn a new extension "ON", nothing happens. Reloading the site switches it back to "OFF".
I was able to install gnome-shell-extension-mediaplayer-git from the AUR. (Which also pulls in gnome-shell-extension-common-git.) It works fine. The problem is that most of the extensions on the AUR appear to be outdated and the users directed to the official site.
This is a relatively new install of Arch and extensions have never worked. Maybe there's a package I'm missing? Or is there a way to get any debugging output? I'm not sure where to look.

Yes. It's called "Gnome Shell Integration".

Is it enabled in about:addons? It is the only thing that comes to my mind.

Re: [SOLVED] Gnome Shell Extensions won't install from website
I found the following from AskUbuntu (not my own words, pasted from the source:
I'll take a wild stab in the dark: If you're using Chrome/Chromium, navigate to about:plugins and make sure "Gnome Shell Integration" is enabled. Then navigate back to extensions.gnome.org and when the ribbon appears at the top make sure you "Always Allow for this Site"
On Firefox you'll have to do something similar if you've turned extensions off. Browse to about:plugins and make sure libgnome-shell-browser-plugin.so is present / enabled. If it's not, upgrade Gnome Shell, or find it on your filesystem and link to it from to ~/.mozilla/plugins (you shouldn't have to do this though).

Re: [SOLVED] Gnome Shell Extensions won't install from website
I finally solved this. Well sort of. I was having other (probably related) issues, like settings not saving. Since Gnome wasn't really set up the way I wanted anyway, I just deleted all of the related config directories for the user. Everything, including the Extensions site, works as it should now.
