Install Gnome 3 extensions via firefox

I'm using Arch x64 with Gnome 3.2.1 and Firefox 8.0.1 on my laptop, the Firefox Gnome Shell Plugin is installed and activated.
I can browse through the extensions on https://extensions.gnome.org/ and I can see the activate/deactivate switches and trigger them. After that I'm beeing asked if I really want to install this extension but after I click on the install button nothing happens. The "installed extensions" tab on the site is empty. No error message at all. Is there a log file for firefox extensions or gnome itself?
I looked through the log files in /var/log/* but didn't found anything.
On my desktop with the same setup of software the install process works like a charm.

I got the package list from kahelos, and installed the following (missing ones got installed), now extensions can be installed from extensions.gnome.org.
application's optional dependencies are not installed which package groups like gnome.
I still don't know which package fixed/enabled the extensions feature for gnome 3.2 and firefox. I installed archlinux64 with xorg, gnome, gnome-extra, gstreamer groups. There are still too many manual minor dependency management in a fresh install.

Error -402 upon installing an extension via Command Line

When I try to install my extension via command line, i receive the following error message:
"Failed to install, status = -402!"
What does this error code -402 mean?
I found someone with a similar problem in the forums: Re: Extension Manager CC failed to install extension
He/She had file names containing non-ASCII characters. But i couldn't find any non-ASCII characters in my project or extension.
Thanks in advance,
Andreas

Hi Carl,
unfortunately unchecking the option did not work. This is what I found in the logs:

How to install IDM extension on Firefox beta versions?

which IDM extension can be installed on Firefox beta versions?

That would be a question for IDM - but from what I have been reading in this forum, it seems that IDM is slow at supporting new Firefox '''release''' versions lately, so I doubt if they support the beta pre-release versions at all.
Take a look at this add-on, it supports three Firefox versions coming in the future, already - Beta, Aurora, and Nightly channel support. <br />

Anyone else having trouble installing MeasureIt extension for FireFox 8.0

I've installed the MeasureIt extension from the 8.0 browser version and also from the Frayd Media (frayd.us) and then restarted my computor to no avail. I love the extension and think it's worth a contribution ... if I can install it successfully? Is there a trick to it (smile)?
Pat

There's a note at the bottom (in the RSS feed at least) that this update isn't for Intel Mac's. Not sure where that leaves us in terms of the security hole tho! If you need to restore the Intel Flash plugin, search this forum and there are a few threads with solutions.. Cheers,

Unable to install any Gnome Extensions through Web Interface

I am trying to install Gnome Extensions through the Web Interface. I have done this before a few months ago but for some reason it stopped working. I switch the extension to on, and I confirm I want to install it. Nothing happens after.
I can enable and disable Gnome Extensions through the web interface, and the firefox extension "Gnome Shell Integration" is enabled. I have found plenty of topics on the subject but none seemed to actually provide a working solution.

Which extension are you trying to install?
I have this problem recently with google chrome and the dash-to-dock extension every time either GNOME Shell updates, or the extension updates. I find if I turn the extension off, delete it, restart GNOME Shell, and then reinstall the extension then it works.

Gnome extensions are not setting keys in dconf-editor

Some extensions have settings that can be edited via dconf-editor, or so they claim.
But if I open up dconf-editor and go to org.gnome.extensions the only entry is alternate-tab which is an extension that I don't even have installed anymore!
It doesn't matter if I install the extension via AUR or from extensions.gnome.org, none of them show up in dconf, but they all seem to work just fine- just with their default settings...

Can you be more specific on what extensions are mis-behaving? For example, to configure the auto-move-windows extension you need to manually edit its extension.js file if you are using Gnome 3.2.x, while gsettings may be used if you use gnome 3.3.9x.
It wasn't always like this, however things changed during the 3.3 cycle, when gsettings started allowing extensions to use their own schemas

Firefox running under Linux Mint (based on Ubuntu) 12 (KDE) won't install extensions for Firefox

Linux Mint (based on Ubuntu) 12, KDE desktop
Firefox 10.0
Started up Firefox right after Mint was installed. On the add-ons page video download helper was shown as a featured extension and I installed it, then rebooted when prompted. After that, Firefox would never install another extension again. Just gives download error.
I google searched and in a forum I found a post about uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox. I tried it. First time I started it up, it installed video download helper again, but then would not install any other extension after that. I tried numerous extensions I '''KNOW''' are working in Firefox 10.0 because they are working in Firefox over on my Win 7. Everytime I get a download error, either from the addons site or from the Add-ons Manager in Firefox.
Someone told me on the Mint forums that I needed to add a subdirectory on a certain directory, so I did that. Didn't work.
It seems Ubuntu disables the root, or cripples it, and I guess Mint does too. You can still use sudo when doing things in Ubuntu (and Mint I would assume, since it's based on Ubuntu) but you can't get true 'superuser' access as I understand it. But, I don't think this would have any bearing on the problem, or my search of the Mint forums would have come up with all kinds of threads screaming about this.

Problem solved - it was caused by an add-on called "PDF Download 3.0.0.2)
To fix - in Firefox :
Click on '''Tools''' command (top of screen)
Select '''Extensions'''
click on "'''disable''' button beside '''PDF Download'''
Close Firefox and restart it.
Clicking on any pdf file should open a new tab now and the document will appear there.

I am unable to install extensions, they show up with "will be installed after you restart Firefox" even after I restart.

Hi,
I am unable to install extensions, they show up with "will be installed after you restart Firefox" even after I restart.
The "Staged" folder is present and remains after a restart, but the extensions do not get installed. They show in the extensions page with the "will be installed after you restart Firefox" message and remain like this no matter how many times I restart.
Any Idea's?
Running Firefox 24.0 on Windows 8.1
Many Thanks,
BD
P.S. Just tried to install the "troubleshooter" add-on before posting the question and I got an error saying it cannot install because it cannot modify the needed file. (I did it manually instead)

It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled or not compatible extensions in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end side of the Search Bar to check if there is a compatibility update available.
If this hasn't helped then also delete the addons.sqlite file.

That wasn't a virus and it had nothing to do with your problem.

This sounds more like a Windows question, than a Firefox question. When you say that an image shows up every time you open your computer, do you mean every time you turn on your computer, or every time you start Firefox?

How to install a local (not global) extension for firefox as part of a desktop setup program.

Hey Folks,
I am working on a desktop application and as part of that applications install, if we detect that firefox is installed, we want to install an extension we wrote. For the firefox upgrade urls to work in the future we seem to need to install the plugin as a local plugin. Therefore the following does not work:
firefox.exe -install-global-extension extension.xpi
My question is, what is the correct way to install this plugin as a local extension for the current user?
If this is not possible and we have to install our plugin as a global extension as show above, we run in to the following problem.
1. Let's say firefox 3.6 is installed and we install our extension as a global extension, it works fine
2. Now, The user updates to firefox 4, it detects our plugin needs an update to work with firefox 4
3. The firefox update code runs into an error when trying to update the global extension. We get a very generic error saying there was a problem updating the addin.
I should also note that for reasons not important to this thread we have to host the extension on our own servers and not as part of mozilla.

The command line switch -install-global-extension is no longer supported in Firefox 4.

How to install .xpi extension through cmd on windows in firefox

i need steps to install .xpi extension through cmd on windows in firefox

Is '' -install-global-extension'' still valid or has it been deprecated ?
* see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Command_Line_Options?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Command_Line_Options#Add-ons
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installing_extensions#Global_installation
* and the Firefox 4 changes <br /> https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Extensions/Updating_extensions_for_Firefox_4#XPI_unpacking
Firefox 4 no longer extracts XPIs when installing extensions. It just places the XPI file in the user profile, and then reads the chrome files and others directly out of the XPI.
If your .xpi is not from Mozilla addons I guess we may not be sure what it is intended to do, or what version of Firefox it was designed for.

I am unable to install "Springpad extension" It states "could not be installed because Firefox cannot modify the needed file"

I have just installed Firefox 4.0. I cannot install the extension called Springpad extension, found here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/springpad/
I click add to Firefox, it downloads, prompts me that the author is not verified and I click 'Install Now'. It then says "Springpad extension could not be installed because Firefox cannot modify the needed file". What am I missing here?

Unable to get Springpad Browser Extension to show up on my browser even though it is with-in my existing add-ons. I was having problems with the Springpad Browser Extension so I thought I would uninstall it and reinstall it but that hasn't worked. So I would like to know how to get it back so I can use it. When I go to the help button and click add-ons to search for Springpad, it does not come up in the results. So I tried using the link on my Springpad homepage website, but it didn't work. Then I searched Firefox support and found this post and tried installing it using the link here. It shows up now in my list of existing add-ons, but when I enabled it, it did not show up on my browser as a clickable icon I can use to spring a web-site. I'm stuck now!
However, the reason for uninstalling it is there is no longer a"back arrow, the + sign, home, or scissors" at the top of the Springpad Browser Extension for Firefox? I have to log out and back in in order to get back to my notebooks because I am unable to get to them without a home button or a back button...and now I can't just click the scissors to spring a web-page. How are we supposed to spring a web-page now?
Disappointed,
Angela
