A couple weeks ago, Uwe said on the Documentation list that this is
deliberate in the developer builds, and referred to this blog entry:

Now, the extensions manager is useless. Are my problems (plural)
unique, or are others experiencing them also?
So far I am having no problems with the extensions manager on either
WinXP or Ubuntu.
And I fixed some of the problems on my old Ubuntu setup by renaming
the .ooo-dev and .ooo-dev3 folders of user settings (found in XP under
Documents and Setting\[username]\Application Data). At least the
program opens now! The .ooo-dev3 folder is obsolete now anyway; it's
been superceded by .ooo-dev\3. And OOo_m4 recreates .ooo-dev\3. Of
course all my settings are gone, but whatever was causing crashes and
failures to open seems to have gone with it.

I had named a new folder OOo 3.0.0 and installed into that. The
installer includes OOo-dev and OOo-dev 3 subfolders, along with other
folders. Why should having other primary folder names matter to OOo when
practically every other application doesn't require that? Is installing
OOo that fussy?
