  • croceldon

    I'm trying to install extensions in Chrome, but keep running into roadblocks.

    I downloaded the beta version of Chrome, but every time I try to drag a crx file to the browser, it just brings up a "Save As" window. When I do save, Windows says that it doesn't know which program to use to open the file.

    What am I doing wrong here?

    Download Chrome 4 beta and from the wrench icon you click extensions and then the extension menu will come up.Then scroll down and get more extensions >> link will be there.Click on that and you will have all sorts of extensions for Chrome.

    Good luck searching :)

    I had the same problem, however, here are two options to try.

    1) I noticed that "dragging" the item to the window caused the weird "Save As" error...however, if you open a Chrome window and choose "File" and "Open File"..and choose your downloaded extension file, it seems to activate it correctly.

    2) You may also want to use the wrench/settings menu in Chrome to view your installed extensions.
