gnome shell add-on in FF broke with forced move to snap version

[Jason Haar]

Looks like the FF add-on that allows you to review/alter gnome-shell extensions no longer works now that firefox is a snap. It was working when I initially installed Ubuntu-22.04 two weeks ago (I chose native apt of FF over snap then), but last week there was the announcement-and-forced-move over to a snap - I would guess that's when it broke.

I just now removed the add-on from within FF, restarted FF, added it back in - and it still doesn't work. I have a bunch of FF add-ons (like uBlock Origin) and I think they are working - so this seems fairly specific to "Gnome Shell Extension"
