Review summary

Users generally find the GNOME Shell integration add-on reliable and useful for managing shell extensions, but several reviewers prefer the newer Extensions Manager (flatpak) or desktop integration. Recurring concerns are compatibility with specific Firefox/distribution versions and uncertainty about the add-on’s future updates.
Pros
  • Generally reliable — multiple users report it "does what it's supposed to" and works well.
  • Positive reception — users appreciate having access to GNOME Shell extensions via the add-on, especially when their distro requires it.
Cons
  • Users prefer the newer Extensions Manager (flatpak) or native desktop integration over the browser add-on.
  • Compatibility and maintenance concerns — reports of issues with certain Firefox versions (e.g., Debian 12) and uncertainty about future updates.
