How to change the animation?

[Sulphy77]

Probably a dumb que..... i have this working on Ubuntu, but how the heck do i change the animation to Matrix?
Much appreciated, this is very cool!!

The Matrix and T-Rex-Attack shaders are only supported since GNOME 40 (due to technical limitations of GNOME 3.3x). If you are on GNOME 40 (Ubuntu 21.10), then you just have to open the extension's settings and choose the desired animation from the drop down menu.

Thanks for that, I am indeed on Ubuntu 21.10, i dont see burn my windows in the list of applications in extensions....
Apologies, i am not that great at Linux!! So, it wouldnt surprise me if you told me i missed something!
Appreciate your help and patience!
Maybe if you had a screenshot to share?

Well, there is actually not much which could be done wrong 😉

1. Go to https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4679/burn-my-windows/ and flip the switch.
2. Go to https://extensions.gnome.org/local/ and click the settings icon next to the extension.

Does this work for you?

AH.... okay, so it wasnt working at all.... then i came across the issue with the SNAP version of FF, and not the deb version! I had to uninstall the snap version, and install the other version... got it working now! Thanks so much for your help!

The workaround marked as answer did the trick for me!
