I'm trying to use GNOME extensions in Firefox, but it doesn't seem to work. I keep getting the error No such native application org.gnome.chrome_gnome_shell. I've followed the installation guide on LinuxConfig step by step. Not sure if it really makes a difference or not, but I am using the flatpak version of Firefox.

gnome-shell-extensions is on the newest version (44.0-1), I've installed the GNOME extension addon into Firefox, installed the latest chrome-gnome-shell (version 42.1-3), and I still get the error on the gnome extensions website.

I'm currently working on a fresh install of 23.04. Wiped my harddrive and started from scratch after ditching Windows again. I've done the basic updates and installed my usual programs (discord, steam, etc.) and now looking to do some customization of my Desktop.

I can't understand why this doesn't work. I recall the last time I used Ubuntu I had no issues with installing the GNOME extensions.

This error typically occurs when the GNOME Shell integration browser extension is unable to communicate with GNOME shell. You need chrome-gnome-shell or gnome-browser-connector or you could also just install the extension manager app (install extension manager on ubuntu)

1 - install chrome-gnome-shell

sudo apt update
sudo apt install chrome-gnome-shell

2 - restart Firefox
