Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Go to "chrome://extensions" 2. Enable Developer Mode 3. Click "Load unpacked extension..." What is the expected behavior? I can paste paths into the dialog. What went wrong? I cannot paste paths into the dialog. Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 62.0.3202.75 (Official Build) (64-bit) Channel: stable OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2) Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 27.0 r0 I'm a busy man, I do not have time to navigate to my extension's location in that folder tree. Chromium is not the only application with this problem. That Browse dialog is just about the worst dialog in Windows.

I can paste into that dialog, there's an input box under the folder tree. Also, you can simply drag'n'drop the extension folder into an open chrome://extensions page. No need to enable "developer mode" and paste.

There's an input box, it does not seem to understand absolute paths. Did not know you could drag and drop a folder, that's nice - confirmed it works on my PC. The process reduces to opening a Windows Explorer window, pasting the path into the address bar, and going up a directory, and then dragging the folder containing the extension. Still, it would be nice if you could paste the full path into the "chrome://extensions" page.

*but it does not seem to understand absolute paths (I turned off AdBlock and NoScript but still can't delete my comment.)

I can paste absolute paths in that input field just fine and I've been doing that occasionally for the last 10 years in Windows 7.

It works, I can paste in a path. Sorry, I don't know what the problem was previously.
