I just upgraded my linux box to Fedora 26. When I added an extension to gnome (through activities -\> software) it brought up a graphical manager that allowed me to enable and disable extensions. I cannot figure out how to bring up that graphical manager again. I can’t find it anywhere in activities, and settings brings up a completely different interface that does not have any options to enable or disable different gnome extensions.

How do I open that graphical interface again?

Never used Gnome, but as far as I can see the main way to control the extensions is through a webpage : yes, nuts as this **[Stack](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/75976/how-are-gnome-shell-extensions-supposed-to-be-managed)** chap indicates —

\*I can’t find any appropriate programs in the Dash for doing that. The only way I can actually manage extensions is via [extensions.gnome.org](http://extensions.gnome.org).  
\*  
Or try gnome-tweak-tool.

As **[here](https://fedoramagazine.org/install-gnome-shell-extension/)**.  
Maybe a real gnome can come along and help soon…
