As Epiphany uses the NPAPI plugin and the other browsers use chrome- gnome-shell, I will file another report for the other browsers.
** Summary changed: - Attempting to update extensions through browser not using NPAPI plugin fails and messes everything up + Attempting to update extensions through Epiphany fails and messes everything up ** Description changed: - I am running Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 with GNOME 3.24 and though in the paste - all worked fine with the NPAPI in Firefox, now if I try to update GNOME - extensions with it or Epiphany all hell breaks loose using the add-on - and native host connector method. So if I went here - https://extensions.gnome.org/local/ in Epiphany or Firefox and tried to - update an extension with little green up arrow, then for a few of them - it might work, but sooner rather than later I would just get a big white - on red "ERROR" message where the buttons would normally be. At which - point, if I had tried to update extensions which were disabled at the - time of me trying to update them, they would become enabled and be stuck - on that mode until I restarted my machine. + + I am running Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 with GNOME 3.24, and through Chrome, + Chromium and Firefox all works fine in terms of the GNOME Extensions + site.

It also appears to break a lot of things with gnome-shell, though what it does each time appears rather random. This issue was present in GNOME 3.22, but certainly got worse with everything in the AO breaking with 3.24. If I try to disable or enable any of the affected extensions using the gnome-tweak-tool then I am unable to move the slider and there is a little "error loading extension" (gnome-tweak-tool_Extension_Errors.png) next to each one, I am also unable to get the "Remove" button to work. I have also attached some screenshots of the kinds of strange things that occur when I do this. You will also notice the "Applications" and "Places" (Applications_Places_Menus_Showing.png) menus being present, those extensions are some of those that weren't on originally, but then got jammed on when I tried to update them even though I never actually tried to turn them on. If I then restart my system I can disable and even remove them, but not until a full restart is performed. Not even restarting gnome-shell seems to work. I have also noticed that after I start seeing "ERROR" on the website that I get the same or just the update arrow reappears a few seconds after clicking it with all the other extensions and thus am unable to update them. This is all rather annoying. Note: Any strange big white boxes or black boxes in the screenshots are just me hiding personal information etc. - - Also, previously I thought this issue was only in Epiphany but the same, - maybe even work, issue now also happens in Firefox. Though I was not - able to test it in Chrome or Chromium. ** Description changed: - - I am running Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 with GNOME 3.24, and through Chrome, - Chromium and Firefox all works fine in terms of the GNOME Extensions - site.
