Gnome extention's setting not open through Tweak

Hi, when I click on the setting of any extensions through tweak, I am not able to open setting.
However, I can open setting through gnome extension in browser(firefox)

Re: Gnome extention's setting not open through Tweak

I just noticed the same problem. If you are running the latest Gnome, there is an Extensions app which works. If you run gnome-tweaks from the command line you will see a GLib_GIO-CRITICAL error saying "This application can not open files.". In my case the gnome-shell is 3.36 whereas tweaks is 3.34. Not sure if a bug report needs to be filed.

I am not opening through terminal. I am using tweaks (gui app)

If you run the tweaks gui by clicking on an icon then you will not see any error messages unless you look in the journal. If you start the gui from a terminal window by entering gnome-tweaks and click on a "gear wheel" for any extension then you will see the message. I also checked out the upstream url for gnome-tweaks and it looks like they are thinking about dropping support for extensions. Are you running gnome 3.36 and did you try the new extensions app?

Actually, every extension showing the same problem: GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 22:20:27.012: This application can not open files.
I am using Gnome version 3.36.1. 
I think they forgot to connect the link
