Our sysadmin has recently deployed google browser in our network. With the availability of extensions it should be a decent replacement for firefox. However we were unable to install any additional extensions. None of the tutorials available on the web was helpful. We tried developers build with no luck. We tried adding “−−enable-extensions” to Chrome shortcut without any results. Google Chrome would simply download .crx file and download it again when opening. That became very frustrating, for our sysadmin and for end users. The solution lied in installation profile. Simply remove or rename Chrome profile folder and extensions will install without any glitch. The profile folder, in windows Vista and 7 is usually located under c:\users\yourusername\appdata\local\google\chrome\user data\default. Just rename or delete default folder. Remember, all your settings are inside so you would loose all bookmarks, history and so on. So make sure you back up all you personal settings first.
