I created my first extension and have a roadblock. I cannot get past this. I tried changing the version from "2" to "3" but had not luck! Any help would be much appreciated! 

{ "manifest_version": 2, "name": "Work Sharing Extension", "description": "This extension allows users to share their work with Notepad.", "version": "1.0", "permissions": ["activeTab"], "browser_action": { "default_icon": "icon.png", "default_title": "Share work with Notepad", "default_popup": "button.html" } }

Rename "browser_action" to "action".
