A troubleshooting guide for Chrome extensions, which are browser add-ons. It covers build failures, runtime problems, and Chrome Web Store rejection messages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when an extension fails to build or run, when a store submission is rejected, or when checking the final extension package.
Why use it?
It helps locate issues such as incorrect file paths, missing asset permissions, unsafe bundled code, and secrets included in the submitted package.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

chrome-ext-troubleshooting scanned grade C with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 121 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Chrome Extension Troubleshooting

Common problems fall into three categories: build/packaging issues, runtime bugs, and Chrome Web Store rejections. Most have straightforward diagnoses once the pattern is recognized.

Build-Time Mistakes

Case-Sensitive File Paths

Windows is case-insensitive; CWS reviewer runs on Linux (case-sensitive). Background.js works locally but fails on submission (Yellow Magnesium rejection).

Fix: Verify all file paths match exactly, including capitalization. Test on a case-sensitive filesystem or review the packed .zip contents.

Missing web_accessible_resources

Content scripts cannot load extension assets (images, fonts, CSS) without declaring them:

{
  "web_accessible_resources": [{
    "resources": ["images/*", "fonts/*"],
    "matches": ["<all_urls>"]
  }]
}

Indirect eval() from npm Packages

Third-party libraries may internally use eval(), violating MV3 CSP. Audit dependencies:

# Search for eval in bundled output
grep -r "eval(" .output/chrome-mv3/
grep -r "new Function(" .output/chrome-mv3/

Fix: Replace the library, isolate in a sandbox page, or find an alternative.

Accidental Secrets in Source ZIP

Firefox requires a sources .zip that can rebuild the extension. .env files or secrets may leak:

Fix: Add .env*, *.pem, and credentials to .gitignore and verify they're excluded from the ZIP.

Runtime Debugging

Symptom Likely Cause Fix
Event not firing after restart Listener inside async function Move to top level, register synchronously
State lost between events Global variables in service worker Use chrome.storage
Timer not executing setTimeout in service worker Replace with chrome.alarms
Message response is null Missing return true in async listener Add return true
Content script not injecting Missing matches or permissions Check manifest and host permissions
Fetch failing in service worker Using XMLHttpRequest Replace with fetch()
Storage writes silently failing Sync quota exceeded Check quotas, batch writes
Popup state disappears Relying on React state only Back with chrome.storage

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
