The @GNOME desktop just crashed. Doesn't happen often. Firefox and Chromium saved my tabs, and Vim saved almost all of my changes, but still ...

I am using the Dark Theme Toggle @GNOME Shell Extension https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1518/dark-theme-toggle/

Updating your @GNOME Shell Extensions in @firefox from the GNOME web site can be dicey in @debian stable. An update broke Tray Icons, so I replaced with TopIconsFix. Don't update extensions that are not broken. https://extensions.gnome.org/

I speak Vim. Sort of. I probably can order in a Vim-speaking restaurant. https://vim.fandom.com/wiki/Vim_Tips_Wiki

To make a long story short, I am trying to manually install a GNOME Shell extension using this LinuxConfig.org tutorial https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-gnome-shell-extensions-from-zip-file-using-command-line-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux
