Failed to attach when using Avira Password Manager extension

[sirdarckcat]

Could you try on a fresh Chrome profile?

It's possible there's another Chrome Extension interfering, and it would be good to find out which one it is.

Thank you!

Hi @alanEG does it happen everywhere? Or just on some websites

[alanEG]

hello @sirdarckcat
On all sites

[alanEG]

Thank you @sirdarckcat
The problem was due to some extensions

[sirdarckcat]

@alanEG could you comment which extensions? So I can detect it and warn users :-)

[alanEG]

These extensions
Avira Password Manage
malwarebytes

[alanEG]

Excuse me
The extension works with malwarebytes
The problem was only due to Avira Password Manage

[sirdarckcat]

Ok thanks! I'll take a look at Avira :-)

fyi - this also happens if the ModHeaders extension is installed. After removing ModHeaders it works fine.

[sirdarckcat]

I think we can fix this, by forcing the user to reload the page, but I need to check.

[sirdarckcat]

@fbo3264 I can't reproduce with modheaders. is this this one? https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/modheader/idgpnmonknjnojddfkpgkljpfnnfcklj/related?hl=en

[fbo3264]

@sirdarckcat : Yep, it was that one. The funny thing is I cannot reproduce it any longer either - very weird.

Quick update.. reloading the page doesn't solve this problem. Any time any extension attaches to a page being debugged, the debugger bails out.

Best solution here is probably warning the user and explaining the culprit.

this also happens if the LastPass extension is installed. After removing LastPass it works fine.
