- Rated 5 out of 5C'est vraiment une des meilleures extensions sous Firefox ! One of the best Firefox plugins !
- Rated 5 out of 5nice
- Rated 5 out of 5it just work.
- Rated 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.

[2] https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeShellIntegrationForChrome/Installation#Troubleshooting - Rated 5 out of 5a must-have ext for gnome users.
tested on AOSC OS and works fine. - Rated 5 out of 5Works great, because I followed instructions.
- Rated 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 - Rated 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!

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. - Rated 5 out of 5Thanks, works fine.
- Rated 2 out of 5unfortunately extension isn't working suddenly. Getting error: "Attempt to postMessage on disconnected port"

posted 3 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
