It download the .crx file from novell-moonlight-3.99.0.3-x86_64.crx and then went to

chrome://extensions/

and drag and drop the file on the chrome windows opened in that address and the following message appear

Apps, extensions, and users scripts cannot be added from this website

with an "OK" button and nothing more.

I read something about "ExtensionInstallSources", but not know how configure it to install extensions from a local directory. Any idea? I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit

This is a known issue.

Download the .crx file. Drag and drop the downloaded novell-moonlight-3.99.0.3-i586.crx file into Google chrome browser.

If you get any error mentioning "Apps extensions and user scripts cannot be added from this website", open chrome://chrome/extensions/ in a new tab and now repeat the step 1
