What Does Gnome-looks.org Look for to Find Gnome?

[Stephen Morris]

Hi,

Does anyone know what Gnome-looks.org looks for the determine that 
Gnome is installed? When I go to Gnome-looks.org it tells me it cannot 
find Gnome on my system therefore not all of its functionality will 
work. Is there something that I need installed for Gnome the would 
enable Gnome-looks.org to know that Gnome is installed and when I am 
accessing the site I'm accessing it from Gnome?

regards,

Steve

Assuming you really mean gnome-look.org, I don't see any indication that 
it's trying to find Gnome.  Can you provide an exact location where you 
see that?

For the Gnome extensions site, there is a Firefox plugin to communicate 
with the website and assist with installing and verifying extensions.

Thanks Sam, the site was displaying the message at the top of its web 
pages, but I've gone to the site this morning and its not displaying the 
message any more.

Where do I find this addon, I couldn't find it via the Get Addons 
interface in Firefox Nightly.

It's the GNOME Shell Integration plugin.  It comes in the gnome-shell 
package.

Thanks Sam, I think I have that package installed so I'll have to find 
where it installed the plugin to configure Firefox to use it as I'm 
using the nightly version of upstream Firefox which at the moment is 52.0a1.

/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libgnome-shell-browser-plugin.so

Thanks Sam, I'll put a link to that in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. From 
what I've been able to determine upstream Firefox uses /usr/lib for its 
directories for both the 32bit and 64bit versions.

I've checked the both the /usr/lib64 and /usr/lib paths and firefox is 
only finding one of the plugins again, so I'll need to work out again 
why its only picking up the flashplayer plugin via the link.
