I tried to load Chrome Web Store to install them from there but this window appears on which I can not click. Also, I tried copy extension folder in profile folder directly but that doesn't work either.

I just upgraded to Google Chrome v73.0.3683.103 and I am now unable to view FTP sites in Chrome. Instead of Chrome loading the FTP directory listing in the browser, it downloads a file named download which contains a directory listing.
How do I get the ability to view the FTP directories directly in Chrome back?
I have tried going into Internet Options > Advanced and clicking on the "Enable FTP folder view (outside of Internet Explorer)" but, that didn't seem to do the trick.
In-browser FTP was deprecated back in v72. I hadn't updated Chrome in a few releases. I have rolled back to v71 until I find a better workflow substitute

I publish my extension in google web store and install it successfully in my chrome.
So I find extension's files in this directory:
C:\Users\User_Name\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions.
I use my extension for native messaging in chrome.
How do I get .crx file for publish my extension for other people without internet connections?
Or exactly like firefox *.xpi files.
Also:
If I pack extension's files in above DIR to zip and rename to crx file, and drop down to chrome this error occurs:
Package is invalid: CRX_HEADER_INVALID.
Packaging
Extensions and themes are served as .crx files. When uploading through the Chrome Developer Dashboard , the dashboard creates the .crx file automatically. If published on a personal server, the .crx file will need to be created locally or downloaded from the Chrome Web Store.
Download .crx from the Chrome Web Store
If an extension is hosted on the Chrome Web Store, the .crx file can be downloaded from the Developer Dashboard. Locate the extension under "Your Listings" and click on "More info". In the popup window, click the blue main.crx link to download it.
The downloaded file can be hosted on a personal server. This is the most secure way to host an extension locally as the contents of the extension will be signed by the Chrome Web Store. This helps detect potential attacks and tampering.
Create .crx locally
Extension directories are converted to .crx files at the Extensions Management Page. Navigate to chrome://extensions/ in the ominibox, or click on the Chrome menu, hover over "More Tools" then select "Extensions".
On the Extensions Management Page, enable Developer Mode by clicking the toggle switch next to Developer mode. Then select the PACK EXTENSION button.
Specify the path to the extension’s folder in the Extension root directory field then click the PACK EXTENSION button. Ignore the Private key field for a first-time package.
Chrome will create two files, a .crx file and a .pem file, which contains the extension’s private key.
Do not lose the private key! Keep the .pem file in a secret and secure place; it will be needed to update the extension.

This is updated dashboard in order to download your crx file
The file picker in Chrome OS only shows the Downloads folder. How can we load an unpacked extension in Chrome that isn't in the Downloads folder?
My suggestion would be to create a project folder within the download folder and load it from there. I wanted to do the same thing but Chrome OS doesn't seem to be able to create folders outside of the download folder unless it's done in your Google Drive.
There's very little documentation at GitHub:
The extension can be installed in Chrome by loading the unpacked
extension in build/chrome as described in the Chrome documentation.
The extension can be installed in Firefox by installing
web-developer-firefox.xpi like a regular extension or automatically
with ant install.firefox and the Extension Auto-Installer extension.
Anyone knows how to install in Chrome using the GitHub master zip? When I downloaded the master files, I noticed there isn't a build/chrome folder, so maybe this information is out of date.
UPDATE: Using the unpackaged extension method, I get an alert that makes me move several files in order to recreate the file structure specified in manifest.json, but I get stuck with an alert that states:
Default locale was specified, but _loacles subtree is missing.
If you want to load an Extension from git-hub for testing , follow these steps:
Visit chrome://extensions in your browser (or open up the settings menu by clicking the icon to the far right of the Omnibox and select Extensions under the Tools menu to get to the same place).
Ensure that the Developer Mode checkbox in the top right-hand corner is checked.
Click Load unpacked extension… to pop up a file-selection dialog.
Navigate to the directory in which your extension files live(Go to Root Folder of manifest.json file) , and select it.
I have uploaded a chrome extension on webstore but lost the local from my desktop. Is there any way to download the extension back either from webstore or developer dashboard such that I get all my files?
Just install it and then go to your User Data directory.....
http://www.chromium.org/user-experience/user-data-directory
..then into the directory of the profile you installed it under, then the extensions directory and then the directory with the key of your extension, then the directory with the latest version and youll find all your files. You can find the key listed on the extension page in chrome in developer mode. Dont forget to edit the manifest, remove the update url and such.
Or if your on windows (I know it works in XP, never tested vista/7) you can use my convenience tool ExtensionOpener.....
