I too see this. At first I thought it was a permissions issue. I set permissions to 744 recursively (on the Extensions folder) as well as trying the dreaded 777 :O. No luck.

Quick workaround solution for development is posted here: electron/electron#5107 . It was to add webSecurity: false in the webPreferences object in windowReducer.js. Obviously this is not ideal as this drops web securities such as local file access.

I will be waiting for a real fix.

@luixxiul is this a dupe of #11142? If so, there is a PR waiting for review: #11143

I'm not quite sure as I experienced the issue on Debian.

[bsclifton]

@luixxiul can you check on macOS?

[psiie]

I am on OSX btw. I should have mentioned that.

Fixed w/ #11143
