Using fedora 17, when I click an extension to install from gnome shell extensions site, it wont install!

How to know what the problem is?

What browser are you using? Does it give you an error or warning?

I'll take a wild stab in the dark: If you're using Chrome/Chromium, navigate to about:plugins and make sure "Gnome Shell Integration" is enabled. Then navigate back to extensions.gnome.org and when the ribbon appears at the top make sure you "Always Allow for this Site"

On Firefox you'll have to do something similar if you've turned extensions off. Browse to about:plugins and make sure libgnome-shell-browser-plugin.so is present / enabled. If it's not, upgrade Gnome Shell, or find it on your filesystem and link to it from to ~/.mozilla/plugins (you shouldn't have to do this though).

EDIT: If things are really broken, you could try reinstalling via: yum reinstall gnome-shell-3.4.1-5
