Cannot install GNOME extensions

Question

Currently having issues installing gnome extensions via their website. Usually there is a SLIDER bar that says ON/OFF , but I am unable to see it.

I am running Firefox 28.0 along with UBUNTU 12.04. I have disabled all addons and still nto able to see anything. I have GNOME 3.4.1 installed and GNOME Tweak Tool as well. I am able to install GNOME extensions from the terminal when i know the exact adress or command line.

Also, when I view the webiste it looks like the plugin list icons are sort of grayed out or transparent. When I compare this to screenshot below, they are much brighter and this makes me wonder if this indicates a problem.

Here is the normal image: enter image description here

Here is what I see:

I have read How do I install and manage GNOME Shell extensions? with no luck

Thanks for reading.

How about you try using another browser for the 'install them via the website' part — Parto, Mar 23 '14 at 06:46
which one would be best to install?I would need something light that is not going to leave residual files all over the place once i remove it? — Kalamalka Kid, Mar 23 '14 at 07:13
there must be another way to install these extensions without the slider bar no? — Kalamalka Kid, Mar 23 '14 at 07:29

Well, I have to credit Seth for this really, but I was not aware that I had to log out after installing gnome shell, so what I did was this:

after that I was able to see the slider on the extensions website.

Thank you Seth!
