Hello everyone, if I instantiate a webwidget before launching the extensions manager, I cannot install extensions anymore. Steps to reproduce.
Python console:
slicer.qSlicerWebWidget()
Open the extension manager for the first time
The extensions buttons only show the Download option.

Thanks for reporting. We have encountered this issue before but thought it was due to the DataStore module , so it did not get much attention.
I’ve submitted a new bug report for this to ensure it has more visibility:

(reported on discourse.slicer.org: https://discourse.slicer.org/t/slicer-qslicerwebwidget-disable-extension-manager-install/17398)
This issue has been first reported in https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/issues/4602. It was thought to be a side effect of the DataStore module initialization, but as it turns out, the problem is at lower level.
## Steps to reproduce
- Start Slicer
- instantiate a web widget by `slicer.qSlicerWebWidget()`
- open extensions manager => "Download" buttons are displayed instead of "Install"
## Environment
- Slicer version: Slicer-4.11.20210226
- Operating system: Windows
@pieper I think you have worked on this part of the code in the past, could you have a look at?

Let’s see what happens with the new extension manager implementation. If it’s still an issue we can dig in deeper. I added a comment in the github issue about a possible cause.
