@aleventhal, please check if this is on the screen reader or on our side, thanks!

Either all screen readers should announce extensions toolbar or none should.

The parent of the button has role group with the name "Extensions". This should cause JAWS to speak the name of the group. I'll follow up with them.

Note that the keystroke sequence required to focus the extensions toolbar has become quite convoluted.
