I don't understand your request here. The firefox policy is being shipped with
the package. For the extension, the homepage says that users need to install it
manually. Even for Chromium, where the policy is present, the extension will be
auto-installed in a near future version of Chromium.

FYI I'm plan to add inline installation of browser extensions at
https://extensions.gnome.org

I think I was wordy and unclear in this bug report. I am requesting
that the Firefox extension be shipped in this package too. Currently
in 8-2, the Firefox system helper is installed but each user needs to
manually visit 
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/gnome-shell-integration/
to install the extension for https://extensions.gnome.org/ to work
with Firefox 52 as well as it does with older Firefox versions.

Do you want a new bug report or can we reopen this one?

Jeremy

Great. We'll package it soon, before the freeze.

GNOME Shell is runtime dependency for chrome-gnome-shell [1], while
chrome-gnome-shell do not needed for GNOME Shell to work.
>From that point of view chrome-gnome-shell may be a "post-install"
dependency for GNOME Shell, however I'm unsure how this type of
dependencies is handled in Debian (in Gentoo Linux it's called
"post-merge" dependency - "PDEPEND"). And indeed gnome-shell should be
runtime dependency for chrome-gnome-shell.

Bug#849348: chrome-gnome-shell: Install Firefox extension

[Jeremy Bicha]

Package: chrome-gnome-shell
Version: 7.2-2
Severity: wishlist

Take a look here:
https://blogs.gnome.org/ne0sight/2016/12/25/how-to-install-gnome-shell-extensions-with-firefox-52/

Firefox 52 is scheduled for release March 7 and is also an ESR release
so it will impact Debian soon.

Maybe we should have gnome-shell depend on chrome-gnome-shell. (I
still don't understand the circular dependency issue, but in that case
maybe chrome-gnome-shell should not depend on gnome-shell but only
Recommend or Enhance it). And then release chrome-gnome-shell 8 and
the gnome-shell dependency change to jessie.

Anyway, the bug I intended to report here is that I think it would be
nice if the chrome-gnome-shell package installed at least the Firefox
browser extension so that users don't have to manually visit
https://addons.mozilla.org/ to get about the same behavior as before
Firefox 52.

There's a Firefox requirement for extensions to be signed but Debian
overrides this for extensions in system directories.

Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha
