In Firefox, I tried to install GNOME Shell extension Desktop Icons made by Rastersoft, but I got this error:
In Firefox, I am trying to install **Desktop Icons** made by Rastersoft.

I need some icons my Desktop which include both folder & Indicator-sticky-notes. Installing other extensions is not the option because they will obviously lack:

  1. Resize desktop icons
  2. Hide Trash and Home folder

I don't want to install any other FileManager too. I am ok with Nautilus even though it sucks at some level.

Now, the main question is: Is there a way to get out of this session, install this extension and go back to my previous session? or something that solves this problem.

Probably the most convenient way for you would be installing the vanilla-gnome-desktop metapackage by running

sudo apt install vanilla-gnome-desktop

After installation reboot (or logout) and choose (after clicking the cogwheel (⚙️) next to the sign in button) a 'GNOME' session (instead of 'Ubuntu') from the GDM login screen. You'll then get the vanilla GNOME session sans any modification by Ubuntu.
