Safari extensions problem

Are you trying to download the extensions from Safari Preferences or Safari Preferences Gallery? --Because I had that problem too. Not with every extension though, just a few. However, I found that I could download the troublemakers & they'd "stick" if I went to each Developer's website and downloaded directly from there.
Installed Safari extensions and their settings are stored in the user folder below. Open Finder then hit shift-command-g (all three at once) and pasture in the path below then hit enter. This will display to local storage folder contents.
Install a couple extensions and you should see entries in this folder for them. Is that not happening?
Code:
~/Library/Safari/LocalStorageAre you maybe running an app that auto cleans browsing history or cookies. Some of those app delete local storage and will cause this problem.
