Problem description: Today I opened Brave and all the extensions disappeared except for an adblock extension that I never had. When I try to install the extensions again, I get a text box saying the installation is not active.

Steps to Reproduce :
1.Open brave and notice all extensions are gone;
2.Try to download any other extension

Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):Instalation gets an error

Expected result:it installs the extension

Reproduces how often:everytime i click “add to brave”

Operating System and Brave Version: Windows 11/Brave version:1.75.180

If you have administrative privileges, the installed Brave Browser executable, brave.exe, is located in:

  • C:\Program Files\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe

And, Brave Browser data - your initial, default user profile would be in the Default folder, here:

  • C:\Users[UserName]\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data\Default\

If you DO NOT have administrative privileges, the installed Brave Browser executable, brave.exe, may be located in:

  • C:\Users\Valued Guests\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe

And, Brave Browser data - your initial, default user profile would be in the Default folder, would then be here:

  • C:\Users\Valued Guests\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data\Default\

(“Valued Guests” might be some other name.)


Where do you find brave.exe on your computer?

Please confirm, where your Brave Browser installation is, and state the paths.


The Brave executable is located here:C:\Program Files\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe.
I dont understand what this has to do with me not being able to install extensions…
