    This is a great addon for users on the GNOME Desktop Environment. It integrates seamlessly into the GNOME desktop, providing installation, upgradation and uninstallation of GNOME Shell Extensions

    Tested on Debian GNU/Linux

    Hello.

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

    Edit:
    This link for ALL supported browsers - Firefox, Chrome, Vivaldi and Opera

    As 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.

    Error: 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.

    Hello.

    You need to install distro package called "chrome-gnome-shell".

    Read addon description for instructions.

    Hello,

    Did you installed native connector? Look to documentation [1] for more info.
    If it will not work for you, then create new issue here [2] or here [3].

    Unfortunately not working on both of my Ubuntu machines (both running Firefox 52 and Ubuntu 16.10).

    Error message:

    "Attempt to postMessage on disconnected port"

    I have chrome-gnome-shell installed as per the instructions.

    Hi, 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
