New Extension problem
Ok, new problem since the last 2 updates for both Dev and Can.. When I click an extension icon in the upper right of Edge Dev and Can, the icon disappears and the extension gets this error.. For the Norton safe web extension, this is the 3rd time this error has shown up...
"This extension may have been corrupted" I've attached a screenshot..
I have tried the "repair" option and I've also removed and re-installed and still get this error..
I have sent a smiley in on it.....

We were able to reproduce this issue internally, and did some investigation. It is likely a Chromium issue, and we have filed a bug on Chromium which is getting looked at. Thank you for your patience as we did our investigations.

Yep same issue with me. When I click lastpass icon he desappears. Then have to repair to work again. And in the next session works. In the next it will broken again. I experience that. (Dev Channel)
Says the extension is corrupted. I tryed install from chrome store and the same bug happens.
Well, I have to say, that with the latest version of Canary I am using, I've not had any crashes in a while. Version 77.0.232.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit), When I think about it, it might even be in the last 2 updates 3 with this version. I've not gotten todays update yet, which I presume will happen in the next couple hours..... Extensions seem to be working crash free so far...

Ok, have just ran into a new problem since Dev channel build 77.0.218.4 is live Update.
Lastpass still crashes, but now, I can not even repair/re-install it.. I get this error...I've cleared cache, cookies everything.. closed and restarted Edge Dev and still get this error...
I have smily'd it and am posting it here as well....
Dennis5mileUPDATE;....
I've just figured out what the problem was....
I have flags set and one of them is what has stopped Lasspass from installing.. When I set the "Block unsafe downloads over insecure connections" to enabled, Lastpass would not install with the above error... But when I set this to "default" it installed perfectly. Although I did not have this problem with Norton Safe Web when it crashed and had to repair it, all went well...But, Lastpass and Norton safe web are still crashing...

Still an issue for me and the Dashlane extension. The read-me for 77.0.211.2 suggested that a new feature had been included in Edge to auto-repair extensions Elliot Kirk
Enabled ability to automatically repair extensions by default.
I had hoped this might fix the issue but it appears to have made no difference
Specific version info from edge://version
Microsoft Edge 77.0.211.2 (Official build) dev (64-bit) Revision 7a50ad32154a1530957b18475b95bc85865af0a8 Operating system Windows 10 OS Version 1903 (Build 18932.1000) Happened to me today with Dashlane in 77.0.217.0 (canary). Seems to happen with Dashlane regardless of whether it was installed from Chrome Store or Edge Extension store. Other extensions (uBlock origin, etc) haven't been impacted, but Dashlane happens about once a week.
jamesmiller Thank you. Having the exact same issue but mine corrupts almost immediately and from both sources e.g. Edge or Chrome extension...

Will probably be fixed next update....Dennis5mile
Dennis5mile Dashlane for me. Repair worked. Only happened once so far. Installed form Chrome Store. Nothing else has corrupted yet.
We were able to reproduce this issue internally, and did some investigation. It is likely a Chromium issue, and we have filed a bug on Chromium which is getting looked at. Thank you for your patience as we did our investigations.

- Thanks for the reply Elliot Kirk, I can say that for me, it does not seem to happen as often as it did when I first reported it, but it does still happen.....
Dennis5mileDennis5mile You are right, it is not happening nearly as often as it did for a while. However, after reading your post, I checked my extensions and one of that was corrupted. My pet theory is that it did it on purpose. LOL
Dennis5mile this happens to Dashlane whether it is MS or Chrome extension. Just installed the latest DEV channel build so will see what happens now but this needs fixing ASAP.
Hi Dennis5mile, this sounds really bad. I have filed a bug on this and am sending mail to the team that owns extensions. What was the first build that you noticed this happening on? I also saw someone mention that only extensions installed from the Microsoft Store were affected, is that something that others have noticed too? Thank you for letting us know about this issue.

- Elliot, Lastpass was the extension most often corrupted. It was installed from the MS Store. I removed it and installed it from the Chrome Store and it hasn't had the problem. I have the MS Store version installed on regular Edge and IE and it has not had the problem.
- Well, don't know about the chrome store as I would never download/install anything from there anyway..... So all troubles I'm having are those extensions from MS store...
As for what build it all started, you would have to go back to the date I first posted this which was "06-06-2019 09:37 AM" and then go back 2 updates prior to that.....
Dennis5mile - Bad news (or good news it seem's) my adblocker is corrupt (and it's installed from chrome webstore) Elliot Kirk so i don't know if it's microsoft webstore but all the extension are touched
Dennis5mile I am having the same issue recently with Dashlane extension, repair works for a time and then the extension becomes corrupt within the same Edge session.
Reported via FeedbackSame issue as Paul Bendall - I keep repairing Dashlane, but a day or so later, back to corrupt status. I sent a smiley about it as well.
