Bug Description

Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS
chromium-browser Version 32.0.1700.102-0ubuntu0.12.04.1~20140128.864.1

I have two extensions installed ("Adblock Plus" and "Tabs to the front"). For both extensions I enabled the option "Allow in incognito" (see screenshot) (Instruction see https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/187443?hl=en -> Adjust extension options).

When I open chromium by using the Quicklist-entry "New window in Incognito mode", both extensions are *disabled* although, the checkboxes for the option "Allow in incognito" are selected. I have to deselect and once again select the checkboxes to make both extensions work.

Background information: When I first start with a regular windows of Chromium and afterwards start an Incognito window simultaneously, the extensions are enabled in the Incognito window as they should be. So the bug only occurs, when I first start with an Incognito window of chromium, and that's my preferred behavior.

This bug occured since the last but one version of chromium in Ubuntu 12.04.
