Ubuntu – Not able to install extensions from official website

11.10gnome

I am using Ubuntu 11.10 and have added gnome3, webupd8/themes/ PPA. But when I go to the official website for extensions I get the following message:

You do not appear to have an up to date version of GNOME3. You won't
be able to install extensions from here. See the about page for more
information.

I even enabled ricotz testing PPA but it had lot of conflicts and webupd8 extensions were all removed. On going to website there was no longer that message but strangly there were no extension listed also.

So what am I doing wrong here? How

Things you need to check before trying to install the gnome-shell extensions.

  1. You need to have a fully updated gnome-shell and all its libraries (as the message on the site says).
  2. You should be using Firefox web browser (The site currently doesn't support Google Chrome and other web browsers).

If you still cannot install any of the extensions, try resetting GNOME configurations to the default settings.
