Recently , I downloaded the "My LastPass Vault" installed in my laptop successfully integrated with firefox.Since, I never use chrome browser. But, what I see, When I opens My LastPass on my firefox, it starts with "chrome://" extension !!
I knows the "chrome.manifest" file is included in XML but, It just looks like either I had opened chrome store or using chrome.

chrome is an internal URL scheme used by Firefox years before google started to use this name for their browser.
I can not see a bug here

To be specific, the word "chrome" is a technical term for the parts of the browser other than the content. The "chrome://" protocol is an internal only scheme to access browser and addon files. It derives from the idea of having chrome trim around the edges of some vehicle or other machine; the chrome of the browser is the part around the web page. (odd etymology, really) Essentially, Google naming their browser "Google Chrome" was roughly on par as if Ford named their next vehicle the "Ford Car". Every time the technical shiz-wiz leaks out to an end user we have to explain this and grumble a bit on Google's lazy naming. :p
