In the dialog that opens, click on the "Pin" symbol to the right of the Secure Shell Extension. This will provide you with one-click access to the Secure Shell.

Then, close the dialog. You'll now notice a new icon that you'll be able to use to activate the shell. NB: This icon is relatively small, but you can usually easily identify it because of the black background:

It's located in the top-right corner of the browser.
