Issue with OpenClaw Browser Relay Chrome Extension - "Relay not running"
Dear OpenClaw Support Team,
I am experiencing an issue connecting the OpenClaw Browser Relay Chrome extension with my OpenClaw instance. The extension consistently indicates "relay not running" despite troubleshooting.
Problem Description:
The Chrome extension displays an exclamation mark ("!") and the message "Clawdbot Browser Relay: relay not running". It cannot establish a connection to control the browser.
Troubleshooting Steps Taken:
1. Browser Relay Status & Start Attempts: Initial checks via browser(action="status") showed the relay as not running. Attempts to start it via browser(action="start") resulted in an error: "no tab is connected."
2. Gateway Restart & Service Verification: I restarted the OpenClaw Gateway via gateway(action="restart"). Logs confirmed "Browser control listening on http://127.0.0.1:18792 (http://127.0.0.1:18792/)".
3. Extension Connection Attempts: Despite the service being active, the Chrome extension icon remains an "!" (not "ON") and does not connect to any open tab. The extension's options page correctly states "Relay reachable at http://127.0.0.1:18792/".
Current Situation:
OpenClaw's browser control service is running and listening, and the Chrome extension acknowledges reachability. However, the extension fails to connect to a Chrome tab for browser control.
Could you please assist me in resolving this connectivity issue?
Thank you for your time and support.
