Hello, I've debugged this. It was caused by a folder or file in the extension called "_locale". Filenames starting with underscore are reserved by use for our system, but we were crashing in this situation instead of reporting a nice error. Please choose a different name for this file or folder. If you were intending to the Chrome extension system's localization feature, the folder should be called "_locales", not "_locale" (plural). But note that localization for Chrome extensions is not yet complete, so you will probably encounter other issues with it.
