Errors when entering text into a web browser.

Hello.

Flow processing was possible without problems until version 2.36 of Power Automate Desktop, but from 2.37 onwards an error occurs and processing stops.
Processing cannot input text in the web browser, and when the flow is checked, it says: "Please install the extension." The following message is displayed.
The extension was already installed and when this problem occurred, the browser, extension and Power Automate were all reinstalled with the latest version.
Please let me know if you know how to solve this problem.
Also, if you cannot solve the problem, please let me know how to get version 2.36.

Hi,Tsu_chan
if you got extension issue you can try this one ,Instead of launching the browser you can used run application action and provide the (exe file of chrome) path of chrome(other browser) and after using this action attach this browser by using launch chrome action (attach running instance) its may work for you

(Note:- if you got your solution you can mark as solution and gives kudos)

Thanks & Regards

I suggest you report this as a bug to MS support. It's a known issue, and the more people report it, the higher are the chances of getting a proper fix.

Hi,Chetan
Thanks for the advice.
After starting the web browser under 'Run application', under 'Start new browser'
Launch mode: connect to running instance
Connection method: use URL
Tab URL: URL displayed when starting the browser
The browser was still unable to start, although it was set up (to acquire the browser instance) and the flow was tried.
To the web browser launched by "Run application",
Entering text in a text field on a web page.
Press the button on the web page.
When a flow is created and executed in the "Execute Application", it can be processed, so we think that setting it to a browser instance may not work well.
The flow to be executed was created with version 2.36, but the Setup version saved at hand is 2.34, so the flow cannot be opened, but the flow itself works with 2.34, so we would like to continue working with 2.34 until this problem is resolved.
If you have any additional advice, I would appreciate it.
