gnome-shell-extensions-prefs does not show any updates

[hackel]

One of the touted features of the GNOME 3.36 release was being able to update extensions directly from the Extensions app. This doesn't seem to be working at all on Ubuntu 20.04, however. I regularly receive update notifications from the Firefox extension, but the only way I have found to actually update them is using the old Gnome Extensions website. I can still configure, disable, and remove extensions from the app, it just doesn't show any updates. Is this functionality somehow disabled in Ubuntu?
