Bug Description
I updated yesterday (I think), and after a reboot today all extensions were disabled.
I went to the gnome-shell extensions website, ticked to enable my extension and it toggled on. The extensions did not seem to work. I reloaded the page and they are off again. I clicked enabled, still nothing. Reload page and all are off.
I check logs in journalctl and could see nothing relevant.
Eventually a bit of searching suggests enabling via gnome-shell-tweaks, so I open that up and they're all unticked, and disabled (can't be ticked). I realised there's a global "enable extensions" tickbox which has been unticked. Enabling this fixes everything.
I have had to do this in the past, several months back as I had forgotten until now.
Something is disabling this on upgrade and it is not obvious from the extensions web-page that they have been disabled.
Ideally they should not be disabled at all, but if they are at least there should be some more obvious feedback after upgrade and on the extensions website
