Description Finnbarr P. Murphy 2011-04-08 15:04:21 UTC 
Extensions no longer load. Looking Glass reports "Failed to load metadata.json: ReferenceError: Shell is not defined."

From extensionsSystem.js:

    try {
        metadataContents = Shell.get_file_contents_utf8_sync(metadataFile.get_path());
    } catch (e) {
        global.logError(baseErrorString + 'Failed to load metadata.json: ' + e);
        return;
    }

Appears to be due to changes made for Bug 646333.

Fix is to add line to extensionsSystem.js.  

const Shell = imports.gi.Shell;

Yes, and that bug also includes the fix which has been committed (and is included in version 3.0.0.2) :-)
