    Default Chrome Extension autoreload

    Hi all,

    I've looked but not found an answer - is it possible to auto-reload an extension as you are working on it? Instead of reloading manually every time you make a change?

    No, if it did, it could potentially think you were done with it in the middle of something, try to load it, cause an error, and crash. So just leave the extensions window open when developing. :] You can always keep it in another window, too.

    Hey Waha,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I'm currently doing my javascript stuff for Chrome extensions in Firefox with Firebug and Greasemonkey, because I can just save the file and refresh the page and I guess I'll have to stick with that for now. Thanks
