** Description changed:
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
