== Known issues ==
* In Firefox with enabled synchronization of GNOME Shell extensions all Shell extensions may be
removed after screen got locked because of missed support of "locked" idle state
in WebExtensions API implementation
(https://developer.mozilla.org/ru/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/idle/onStateChanged).
* Chrome extension may be auto uninstalled after upgrade to connector version 10.
It can be restored using inline installation link at https://extensions.gnome.org or using
Chrome Store (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gphhapmejobijbbhgpjhcjognlahblep).
* Firefox can consume a lot of CPU and sometime crash on quit because of Mozilla's bug 1349874
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1349874).

Disabled GNOME Shell extensions synchronization. Firefox 52 does not support all relevant APIs yet.

== Changes ==
* FreeBSD is supported again.
* Enabled GNOME Shell extensions synchronization in Firefox.
* Added option to check updates of enabled only GNOME Shell extensions.
