Vivaldi closes or crashes when remove unpacked extension
-
'Don't close window with last tab' is enabled and now when I tried to remove the unpacked extension the browser closes, not sure if it's crashed, and the unpacked extension remains in extension management list
-
@gwen-dragon Thanks for replying. Please notice the extension I installed is unpacked.
- Download this extension
- Unzip and enable developer mode in extension manager
- Use
Load Unpacked
to load the unzipped files - Try to remove the extension
p.s. I'm not sure if other unpacked extension will cause the same problem
vivaldi 1.16.1230.3 (Official Build) (64-bit)
OS: windows 10.0.17134.137 x64
This issue happens when I both remove from extension manage and extension icon -
The only reason they installed unpacked is because material design extensions page doesn't allow the installation of userscripts or packed extensions anymore, this is what I would assume. If you don't want to edit or mess with the extension, there is really no point in loading it unpacked.
-
@gwen-dragon It's not possible, I filed a bug yesterday. Packed extensions (extensions that aren't from chrome webstore) and user.js files cannot be dragged and dropped on material design extensions page in latest snapshot.
-
@luetage It's probably intentional, chrome doesn't want us to install outside the webstore or userscripts, if you disable the material design extensions page in flags, everything works normally.
-
@gwen-dragon Doesn't work for me. Make sure you try on latest snapshot and not internal, also try userscripts. Could be a macOS thing, but I really doubt it.

Damn, forget about it. I tried with clean profile and it works. That's bothering me, because I reset my profile only 2 months ago. I thought it has to be ok… oh well, here we go again

ah, good to know, so there IS something wrong happening when upgrading to 1.16 based on new ch67.
On my work PC I have switched back to old interface with chrome://flags/#enable-md-extensions because dropping newest uB0 crx on the new interface didn't react, hence not installing it anymore. So it's not just a Mac issue, I have Win7. On my other Win7 pc at home it didn't happen, dropping the crx reacts correctly and installs it.
Having to manually rebuild the profie now and then is tiresome and not actually user friendly, there should be a tool for it, if not even an internal function in Vivaldi itself. -
I'm having same issue. I'm trying to Remove couple extensions in Vivaldi 1.16.1230.3 and each time, it just crashes. Won't allow me to Remove extensions. I can disable the extension, but can't Remove. These are extensions installed from Chrome store.

Nevermind, I retried now with newest uBlock Origin development build
1.16.13.2, re-enabled material design for the extension page, it removed previous version and accepted the drag and drop of the newly built crx as it should.
Mistery? undeclared fixes in updates? Whatever, case closed on my side -
@ian-coog Since the update to chrome 67 there are various problems with all extension related things. It's hard to see through.
-
@lonmok I am having the same issue myself. And I need to remove the extensions, since they are using a lot of CPU within Vivaldi.
-
@gwen-dragon , this is a newbie question: how do I see the status of the bug?
-
@areynaldos There is not a public bug tracker. You have to ask a moderator to check on it for you.
-
@areynaldos The bug has been confirmed, has been elevated in priority, is being worked on, and the cause of it is not yet found.

Just to add some fuel to the fire, it happened to me also with a chrome store extension
https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/28473/resizable-tab-tiling-vivaldi-browser-snapshot-1-16-1230-3/174
But for example never happens when removing uBlock Origin (packed crx made after downloading it from github, I update it weekly) -
