问题
Im doing a project that involves browser extension. In firefox i do know the location of where the extensions will be after you download them (under your profile folder) and I was wondering where does Chrome hides the crx after you install them? Especially in mac.
I'm doing this coz i find it easier to build extension by look how other people tackles the problem especially XPCOM and now bumping into some issue with chrome extensions.

CRX files are basically ZIP files. After you install an extension, all the files are in a folder named according to the extension ID. To get the extension ID, go to chrome://extensions/ and make sure Developer mode is checked.
Installed Chrome extension directories:
Mac
/Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Extensions
Windows 7
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions
Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
Linux
~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Extensions/
Note: Additional directories are created when you have multiple profiles in Chrome. To get to an extension installed for the second profile, replace /Default with /Profile 1.

On Windows that's:
%Chrome Install Path%\User Data\Default\Extensions\%ID%
I suppose it's something similar on Mac.
