2016-12-25 21:42:43 Jeremy Bícha description Impact ====== gnome-shell provides a browser plugin so that users can manage GNOME Shell extensions by visiting https:/extensions.gnome.org/ in Firefox and compatible browsers. This extension will stop working in Firefox once users upgrade to Firefox 52. Firefox 52 is scheduled for upstream release March 7, 2017. chrome-gnome-shell version 8 adds Firefox support that will keep working in Firefox 52 and beyond. There are actually two parts to chrome-gnome-shell: a system helper and a browser addon. The chrome-gnome-shell package provides the system helper. The browser addon can be installed directly without admin privileges from https://addons.mozilla.org/en/firefox/addon/gnome-shell-integration/ or for Chrome at https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gnome-shell-integration/gphhapmejobijbbhgpjhcjognlahblep For more details, see https://blogs.gnome.org/ne0sight/2016/12/25/how-to-install-gnome-shell-extensions-with-firefox-52/ Test Case ========= Regresion Potential =================== Other Info ========== chrome-gnome-shell 7 is available in Ubuntu 16.10. We want to make version 8 available in -updates for 16.10, 16.04 and 14.04 LTS.

The Activities button in the top left of the screen should now read Applications and show a menu of installed apps when clicked. - Turn off the "Applications Menu". The Applications button should revert to being a simple Activities button. * Repeat the above test with chromium-browser * If you are using Firefox 52 or less, that test was just testing the old functionality (It's important that it still works though!). To test the new version: - Install https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/gnome-shell-integration/ - To make sure that you aren't testing the old functionality, run sudo rm /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libgnome-shell-browser-plugin.so - Restart Firefox and do the above "Applications Menu" test. - When you are finished testing, run this command to restore the manually deleted file: sudo apt install --reinstall gnome-shell Regression Potential =================== It's important that installing the Firefox helper does not break the existing Firefox support for https://extensions.gnome.org/ Other Info ========== chrome-gnome-shell 7 is available in Ubuntu 16.10.

For the ubuntu-gnome-desktop metapackage update, see https://launchpad.net/bugs/1652538 It might be nice if a future chrome-gnome-shell would include the Firefox addon too instead of just the system helper, but that's complicated since I believe addons need to be signed in Ubuntu. https://wiki.mozilla.org/RapidRelease/Calendar
