Installing chrome-gnome-shell for Firefox snap

After a fresh install of 18.04, I've installed the Firefox snap rather than the APT package.



Now I'm trying to tweak GNOME extensions at https://extensions.gnome.org/local/, and it's showing me:



GNOME extensions error



This is because of the way snaps are sandboxed, it doesn't have access to the system version of chrome-gnome-shell. I assume it's a similar problem to those in these threads:



https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/chrome-gnome-shell-does-not-work-with-chromium-snap/3377
https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/package-gnome-extension-together-with-snap-app/2892



Does anyone know if there's a solution to getting chrome-gnome-shell to work with the Firefox snap?




I found the same question has already been asked on the snapcraft forum, but there's no answer there yet either.

    Not a solution to the problem in hand, but you can manually install GNOME extensions.
