That error is displayed when the extension doesn't have a name, not when the browser_action is missing a name. There are actually no required values for browser actions (although you must supply an empty browser action section if you want a browser action, but that's another story).
So, this key at the top of your manifest (inside the curly bracket)... "name": "My extension name", ... should take care of the error. As for the second error, it would really help if you list the exact error instead of paraphrasing it. The only error I find about invalid type is in the error strings for page actions, not browser actions. On Fri, Oct 30, 2009 at 08:14, jfc <[email protected]> wrote: > > Nothing really that clear.
