This is because, Google has now changed (improved) the extensions’ urls (to be SEO friendly ?!)

 

 

Old url:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/boooicegpdabdahoefbdbcpnjhapkdga

New url:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/share-on-google-plus-page/boooicegpdabdahoefbdbcpnjhapkdga

The old url is redirected to the new one. so, its not much to be worried. But, the Plus Ones received by the extensions are gone.
