Description Tadej Janež 2012-03-16 12:44:22 UTC 
Description of problem:
I was using Epiphany with Gnome Shell 3.3.90 (see detailed package versions below).
I browsed to an extension (e.g. System Monitor) and tried to enable/install it using the switch button and by accepting in the pop-up dialog.
After clicking the Yes, nothing happened.
After I manually restarted the Gnome Shell via Alt-F2 + "r", extensions appeared in the Gnome-tweak-tool and they were even enabled.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
epiphany-3.3.91-1.fc17.x86_64
gnome-shell-3.3.90-2.fc17.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Additional info:
Distribution: Fedora

Unfortunately, GNOME Shell 3.3.90 has a bug with the extension system.
