There are several problems with using GNOME 3.28 and Icecat 60 on Guix, many of which impact each other.
1. The gnome-tweaks package can't find gnome-shell extensions from the gnome-shell-extensions
package, and so claims none are installed.
This is a packaging problem because on normal distributions, packaged extensions are visible to gnome-tweaks.
2. The stock "Web" browser is not able to install shell extensions. This may be an upstream bug.
3. Icecat can not install gnome-shell extensions because the Native Connector is not packaged in
Guix. Despite the misleading name, this is the tool needed.

4. Icecat is unable to sign in to Firefox sync. This is apparently fixed in 68.

Hi,
I think this part of your report may be related to
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/35853
Should these issues be merged?
Apologies for not yet having a solution.
Best,
Jack

Okay. I think I'll go ahead and merge these issues then.

Can you open an issue for each of these items?
Personally, I'd rather install the GNOME extensions I want from Guix
packages rather than from extentions.gnome.org via a browser add-on, but it
would be great to have either method work.
I expect that the people who work on our icecat package (e.g. Mark Weaver)
are already aware of 68, but a report won't hurt.
All the best,
Jack
