I second your finding! There is a change in Chromium v92 that causes downloads
(this includes installing extensions) to fail (at least on FreeBSD) if the
download destination is on a different filesystem than the temporary file
location. In my case Chromium creates the temporary file in /tmp (a tmpfs fs)
and the download location is $HOME/Downloads. The downloads appears to be
successful but the file in $HOME/Downloads is empty. The data is there but only
in the temporary dot file in /tmp. Somehow Chromium on FreeBSD thinks that the
download destination is on the same fs as the temporary file location. If I
choose /tmp as download destination the download works.

I tried to pinpoint the problematic place in the code but with the amount of
changed code between Chromium releases I was not successful so far.
