• [ x] Did you use the latest version of GEF from dev branch?
• [ x] Is your bug specific to GEF (not GDB)? - Try to reproduce it running gdb -nx
• [ x] Did you search through the documentation first?
• [x ] Did you check issues (including the closed ones) - and the PR?

Step 1: Describe your environment

• Operating System / Distribution: Debian bookworm

• Architecture: amd64

• GEF version (including the Python library version) run version in GEF.

Step 2: Describe your problem

Steps to reproduce

3. observe that extra commands are loaded
4. run gef save
5. quit and then rerun gdb
6. observe that extra commands aren't being loaded

Observed Results

I think the call to load_extra_plugins() was accidentally removed here? The only time it gets called now is in on_write in the config command for extra_plugins_dir (which is why gef config ... still loads the extra plugins).
