Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Matthias Clasen 2015-09-18 13:11:33 UTC
There are a number of issues that could confuse users. Here are some suggested improvements:

- if the browser plugin is not installed, don't offer a link to the website, or better, suggest to install the browser plugin.

- don't offer to update extensions that are installed system-wide (ie those that are most likely installed from a package).

Comment 3 Milan Crha 2019-06-19 12:31:29 UTC
I'd better deal with this upstream and backport any change, rather than trying to address this only for RHEL. The current version is 3.28.1 (for me gnome-tweak-tool-3.28.1-2.el7.2.noarch), and there is no link for the web site in the Extensions section, neither I found the browser plugin package - how is that named, if still used, please? (I think there was some change to remove the browser plugin or something, I do not recall any detail).

Comment 4 Milan Crha 2019-08-01 10:20:11 UTC
I'm closing this, because I cannot find the right place (see comment #3). Feel free to reopen, if you've the required information.
