I'm not sure, I understand the problem here. But if you want to change some options on chrome. I use this Chromium Command Line Switches to find correct option to set when set browser on 'browser_types.xml`.

For example:

<options>--no-default-browser-check --user-data-dir=$userDir\browser\chrome\profiles\sahi$threadNo --proxy-server=127.0.0.1:$port --disable-popup-blocking --always-authorize-plugins --allow-outdated-plugins --enable-npapi --incognito</options>  

Answer 2

You need to inject Sahi script into the pages of extension. One way to achieve this is as below.

1. Download the extension source code.
2. Then modifying the html pages such that Sahi injects its script in these pages.
3. Post this, you can pack the extension again. Load this modified extension into the browser.
4. Now you should be able to automate the pages of extension.
