Solution, as stated by @Albert70 with additional steps that finally fixes for me

you end up with PAD 2.27.177.22340 Firefox PAD extension 2.27.0.4 Edge and Chrome PAD Extension 2.27.0.2

Uninstall power automate

remove PAD Extensions from all from browsers

Restart pc

Install PAD, but using the .msi from this url https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/install

restart pc

go to browser(s) re install the extension

only when did all above in sequence did it finally work for me
