I have an extension within which there is a page which contain a button to launch custom url scheme :

errorpage.html

<form>
  <button class="button" formaction="myextension://" id = "start_app">Open My App</button>
</form>

Also I have a mailto link on that page :

<a href="mailto:help@coders.com" id = "send_log_btn"> Send Mail</a>

They both were working fine before i updated chrome to version 49 from version 48.I don't know wether there is some change in permissions or it is a bug in chrome.

For testing purpose i created a seperate html page outside chrome extension and put above links into it and it is working fine.So i think there may be some change in chrome extension api to support mailto and custom url scheme protocol.

Any solutions.

  • As a workaround, you could try https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21792565/how-to-open-a-mailto-link-from-a-chrome-extension – Xan Mar 09 '16 at 07:47
  • I have tried that but it only works in mac.In windows and linux as soon as the tab is removed the respective dialog also closes without any user interaction. – yogesh kumar Mar 09 '16 at 10:38
