- by code_monk, 2 years agoRated 4 out of 5it's a great idea with great potential, and with many features that work well and add awesome sauce, and it adds extensibility to my favourite desktop, but has bugs

Update: Perfect, Firefox got a full feature extension too.Developer response
posted 2 years agoHello.
Thanks for notice. Firefox had some issues with storage sync previously.
I whitelisted sync feature for Firefox in extensions's git master branch.
It should work starting with next extension version. - by Firefox user 13644749, 2 years agoRated 5 out of 5
- by Firefox user 13631606, 2 years agoRated 5 out of 5Works great in Ubuntu 17.10 with Chrome and Firefox. With Chrome, it adds an icon to the menu bar to connect to https://extensions.gnome.org . With Firefox, this has to be done manually, AFAIK. FYI,

- by Firefox user 13527217, 2 years agoRated 3 out of 5Works. Keep in mind that you still need to install a native counterpart (for ubuntu and others) to work and for ubuntu 17.10 this component has not been updated, yielding apt update error
E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/ne0sight/chrome-gnome-shell/ubuntu artful Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.

Absolutely necessary now that I've switched to ubuntu. - by Eric, 3 years agoRated 5 out of 5C'est vraiment une des meilleures extensions sous Firefox ! One of the best Firefox plugins !
- by Firefox user 13106008, 3 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, 3 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.
