Error When Attempting To Install Specific Chrome Extension

[phrohdoh]

What happened?

undefined
This add-on could not be installed because of a filesystem error.

When attempting to install the Chrome extension Internet Money, I receive this error and the extension is indeed not installed as far as I can tell:

I am running Waterfox 6.5.2 (64-bit) on macOS Sonoma (14.0).

Reproducible?

[Not Applicable]

• I have checked that this issue cannot be reproduced on Mozilla Firefox.

Version

G6

What platform are you seeing the problem on?

macOS

Relevant log output

Also having this issue on Fedora Linux, no chrome extensions work. Also on 6.5.2.

Having the same issue on MacOS 15.0.1 Sequoia. Latest Release. Firefox extensions only work.

Futile writing because they don't read it anyway.

Tried 3 latest versions (up to 6.5.3) and also G6.0.18 - on every version I get following error:

This add-on could not be installed because of a filesystem error

while trying to install Chrome extension from Chrome Web Store. Tried to install two different extensions, one of which is "Vue.js devtools (v5)" - https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/vuejs-devtools-v5/hkddcnbhifppgmfgflgaelippbigjpjo

Also tried latest version (6.5.3 at the time of writing) on Ubuntu from flatpack and get the same error.

Fix this please. Chrome extensions support is one of the main "selling points" of Waterfox other Firefox (at least for me).

May be it has been broken not by Waterfox update, but on the Chrome WebStore side. It has happened previously, according to this comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/waterfox/comments/tjoe5m/comment/i1swo2r/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
