I can't reproduce this problem. Do you have any other information you could share? The following might be helpful:
We also publish nightly prerelease versions of the extension that you can switch to through the extensions page, and have a release candidate for 1.57.0 going through review right now, and maybe one of those has already addressed the issue.
