Chrome getting stuck when using modheader

[Wilson Tam]

We have been using modheader for our work for the last 2 years and it has been working fine until recently. 

Chrome gets stuck as soon as it launches and wouldn't proceed.  At first, it was happening randomly.  But now, it is happening all the time.  We have also tried updating to the latest modheader version, but that didn't help.  Does anyone have any idea?

This is what we have in our selenium script.

options.addExtensions(new File("C:\\Selenium\\modheader_2_1_1.crx"));

driver.get("chrome-extension://idgpnmonknjnojddfkpgkljpfnnfcklj/settings.tmpl.html");

((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript(

"localStorage.setItem('profiles', JSON.stringify([{ " +

" title: 'Selenium', hideComment: true, appendMode: '', " +

" headers: [ " +

" {enabled: true, name: 'Authorization', value: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx', comment: ''}, " +

" ], " +

" respHeaders: [], " +

" filters: [] " +

"}]));

Wilson, can you try to use browser mob proxy, to see it this helps . I am not familiar with modheader. In Browsermob proxy you can intercept network calls and modify headers.
