When open extensions.gnome.org and open any extension, I can press button on/off. It switches but nothing happens, no message about installation pop up. Previously, a year ago, on other machines with 20.04, everything was fine.

P.S. I install gnome-extensions, chrome-gnome-extensions, gnome-tweaks. Tried chrome and firefox and install required extensions and them.

P.P.S. It turns out that extensions can be installed manually quite easy: https://itsfoss.com/gnome-shell-extensions/

Press Alt + F2 (this opens GNOME panel). Enter r in the prompt (to restart GNOME) and press Enter.

Try to press ON on the website, this should work now and install the extension.

Explanation (my guess)

The UI (loaded in memory) doesn't respond to updates (on disk). It needs a kick. Restarting is a "kick".
