Title:
Attempting to update extensions through Epiphany fails and messes
everything up

Status in Ubuntu GNOME:

Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
I am running Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 with GNOME 3.24, and if I am to use
Epiphany then there is one hell of an issue with updating extensions.
So if I went here https://extensions.gnome.org/local/ in Epiphany 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.
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.
