Florian, afaik, the plan was to show a notification that instructs users to update extensions. Did that not land ? Where is the notification supposed to appear? In tweak tool it implies the wrong version but remove is greyed out and there is no update. Looking glass says the extensions are out of date. FF 38 can't detect version of Gnome and the gnome add-on says it is not compatible with FF 38. Brian, do you have gnome-shell-browser-plugin installed? you should be able to update your extensions from extensions.gnome.org I've filed bug 1264436 with some ideas for improved extension handling in gnome-tweak-tool. so I met with Brian yesterday and we discovered that he didn't have gnome-shell-browser-plugin installed, so extensions.gnome.org didn't work for him. This is, in part, because the browser-plugin package is in workstation-optional instead of workstation. He ended up getting the frippery extension as an rpm from a 3rd party site, which is why the tweak tool was unable to update it. Proposals: 1) we have knowledgebase article up front before release that discusses extensions and how any third party ones will need to be manually updated 2) we move the browser-plugin from workstation-optional to workstation. We still shouldn't have it installed by default, I think, because that may surprise admins on managed workstations. 3) we make sure the tweak tool gets the updtes mclasen proposes in bug 1264436 4) potentially do the notification mentioned in comment 1 I think 1 and 2 are important before 7.2 release, but the others can potentially wait. clearing needinfo (In reply to Matthias Clasen from comment #1) > Florian, afaik, the plan was to show a notification that instructs users to > update extensions.
