For chrome see https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/external_extensions. For firefox I was under the impression you can't, but I haven't extensively looked. But the easiest thing to do is see how chrome-gnome-shell is handlded in your distro, which is a similar tech, but used purely for helping extensions.gnome.org install extensions. It's an already addressed issue (or non-issue), so we can basically do the same. On Arch and Ubuntu the browser side is fetched from the relevant store by the user. > I ask cause I think at least for chrome / chromium you need a Google > account > to use the plugin / extension store. That's not true. Nor for firefox. David
