See original GitHub issue

I tried to reinstall/upgrade the extensions and now I am getting permissions errors… does this need sudo or something!?

I had permission error in $home/.config/Electron … /build/inject.js (Arch Linux) so I changed that to writable and it solved the issue, not sure how right this feels though

I went and recursively set permissions to R&W inside of the package and it fixed the issue for now.
