Absolutely necessary now that I've switched to ubuntu. - by Eric, 4 years agoRated 5 out of 5C'est vraiment une des meilleures extensions sous Firefox ! One of the best Firefox plugins !
- by Firefox user 13106008, 4 years agoRated 3 out of 5Great concept and have previously had high success. Though recently my FF has been performing like crap and today finally set out to isolate it. High CPU usage even when idle one tab open to duckduckgo. Running Ubuntu 16.04 FF latest.
First part (which I fixed)
---------------------------------------------
First problem:
-> high CPU consumed by Firefox idle. Isolated down to this plugin. (plugin enabled = 20% CPU, plugin disabled = 0-1% CPU idle)
Seems I was running an older version of the backend service, which was the root cause of this issue. (sorry didn't note which chrome-gnome-shell version was running previously).
Second issue. (no fix)
---------------------------------------------
Any attempt to close firefox (File Quit, CTRL+Q, restart FF due to addon/extension change, etc.) results in a hang and crash. Firefox spins CPU for about 1 minute then crashes.

It is a Firefox bug 1349874 [1] and explained in the wiki [2]. Please ask Mozilla to fix it.

tested on AOSC OS and works fine. - by Jacques shellac, 4 years agoRated 1 out of 5The backend requirements (copr dnf repo and ineptly named chrome-gnome-shell) could be made more clear on extensions.gnome.org. Works fine once you waste 20 minutes trying to figure out all of the manual dependencies. Grumble grumble.

You do not have native connector installed.
Please read documentation [1]

Edit:
This link for ALL supported browsers - Firefox, Chrome, Vivaldi and Opera - by Francisco de la Peña, 4 years agoRated 5 out of 5As said by mostly everybody, this addon requires a backend service, it does not work out of the box by just adding it to Firefox, and this is by design, so, for everyone which did not it yet, repeat with me:
Read the addon instructions!

Tested on Fedora 25 and works great. - by Firefox user 11032464, 4 years agoRated 4 out of 5Error: Attempt to postMessage on disconnected port
Solution: Read the addon's description.
> You MUST install native connector for this extension to work
The package is called 'chrome-gnome-shell' but is needed for Firefox too. It seems to be a dependency for the addon to communicate with the gnome-shell. - by Firefox user 12893649, 4 years agoRated 2 out of 5unfortunately extension isn't working suddenly.

posted 4 years agoHi, Edgar.
Did you installed native host messaging connector? You need to manually install manifest file. Take a look here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754316
