- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13631606, 6 years agoWorks 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,

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13527217, 6 years agoWorks. 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.

posted 6 years agoHello. You should not use PPA anymore.

Absolutely necessary now that I've switched to ubuntu. - Rated 5 out of 5by Eric, 7 years agoC'est vraiment une des meilleures extensions sous Firefox ! One of the best Firefox plugins !
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13106008, 7 years agoGreat 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.

posted 7 years agoHello.
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. - Rated 1 out of 5by Jacques shellac, 7 years agoThe 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 5by Francisco de la Peña, 7 years agoAs 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. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 11032464, 7 years agoError: 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.
