Other indicators that the "gnome-shell-browser-plugin" functionality is broken are: * Going to "https://extensions.gnome.org/local/" lists no extensions on Firefox 60, but does on Firefox 52. * Browsing to an extension shows no "ON/OFF" toggle on Firefox 60, but does so on Firefox 52 Created attachment 1471028 [details]

This is expected as FF60 disabled plugin support for some plugins and this one is one of them. You should rather use gnome-software. IMHO we may ship the chrome-gnome-shell somehow at it seems to work (I least for me). As far as I can tell, other distributions have been able to continue to provide this functionality past the release of firefox 60. (In reply to ilmostro7 from comment #16) > As far as I can tell, other distributions have been able to continue to > provide this functionality past the release of firefox 60. Yes most probably thanks to chrome-gnome-shell project which is not in RHEL. Please start the process of including it for 7.7 and 8.0. This kind of requests usually come from customers as it would be more valuable that if would come from inside of RedHat. I'm sure your TAM or somebody from support will be able to help you here. Thanks and sorry for hassle. chrome-gnome-shell is now in place for 7.7 I guess we can close as currentrelease, thoughts Andrew? yes, lets close this The needinfo request[s] on this closed bug have been removed as they have been unresolved for 500 days |
