There are several problems with using GNOME 3.28 and Icecat 60 on Guix, many of which impact each other.

1. The gnome-tweaks package can't find gnome-shell extensions from the gnome-shell-extensions
package, and so claims none are installed.  
This is a packaging problem because on normal distributions, packaged extensions are visible to gnome-tweaks.
2. The stock "Web" browser is not able to install shell extensions.  This may be an upstream bug.
3. Icecat can not install gnome-shell extensions because the Native Connector is not packaged in
Guix.  Despite the misleading name, this is the tool needed.

4. Icecat is unable to sign in to Firefox sync.  This is apparently fixed in 68.
