Follow the Team Member Troubleshooting Guide
Depending on the problem, the solution may be available in the Team Member guide:
Verify PixieBrix has Permission to Access the Page
If a button/menu item is not appearing:
- Right click the PixieBrix icon in the browser toolbar and verify it says "On <origin>"
- Click the PixieBrix toolbar icon to toggle the sidebar, does the extension now run? If it runs, this indicates the extension is configured properly, but that the permissions are not active
- Check the Settings page. Does the URL match any of patterns under "Additional Permissions"?
Check User Error Telemetry
From the Team Admin page, select the user experience problems and view the "Error Telemetry" tab.
Check the User Extension and Deployment Package Version
From the deployment detail page, view the "Status" tab to verify what version of the deployment and PixieBrix browser extension each user has active

Browser Developer Console

Browser Extension is Crashing

Fix 1: Disable Debug Logging
- Check the Settings > Developer Settings section in the Extension Console
- Clear the local logs
- Ensure Log Values is Disabled
Fix 2: Factory Reset the Browser Extension
If your browser extension install has been corrupted, you can reset the browser extension install state.
