I have had this extension installed for years. Suddenly this has disappeared from my profiles. Reinstallation fails. Looking at the listing, this extension was last changed in 2011.

This is caused by the work in  issue 816677  - manifest v1 extensions are no longer supported. Ideally an explanation should be displayed or linked to, that describes why this happens and what extension authors can do to fix it, including common pitfalls of transitioning like web_accessible_resources.

This is a manifest v1 extension, which has been publicly deprecated for several years.  [1]  Revision 6c5c219bd2ad58651dcb596b1211ce948d67a53a finally removed the ability to load these extensions.  This is working as intended.

 Issue 855961  has been merged into this issue.
