I’m still encountering an issue with installing extensions in Cursor. Recently, when trying to install an extension, I get the following error: Error while fetching extensions. Failed to fetch

When clicking the link that says:

Don’t see an extension you’re looking for? Click here to learn how to install it.

I’m redirected to: How to Install Any VSCode Extension

According to step 2 on that page, there should be a Download button under the Resources tab on the extension’s Marketplace page. However, there is no such option. For example: GitHub Copilot - Visual Studio Marketplace

It would be helpful to have updated documentation or a fix for this from @curosr-team soon.

Updating to the latest version resolves the issue at the time of writing.

Version: 0.48.8  
VSCode Version: 1.96.2
