Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure through Extension Settings > Download, where refreshing the download cache crashes; compare the same flow for Applets. Inspect the entry point responsible for extension and applet refresh and capture the given error message from the report or logs. Done means both caches refresh successfully and available extensions and applets are shown.
