Bug Description

I am on Ubuntu 20.04 and snap Firefox 75.0-3.

I keep getting "Although GNOME Shell integration extension is running, native host connector is not detected. Refer documentation for instructions about installing connector."

Of course, I have already done "sudo apt-get install chrome-gnome-shell" and I am confident that the installation went well because Gnome shell integration works just fine if I use it on deb-Chrome.

The issue should then be related to Firefox snap for Ubuntu. In add-on preferences, I get "Your native host connector does not support check for GNOME Shell extensions updates. Probably python-requests package is missing."
