The 'xhr failed' error usually signifies a network connectivity issue preventing VS Code from reaching the Visual Studio Marketplace. It can be caused by firewall restrictions, proxy settings, DNS problems, or temporary marketplace outages. It doesn't necessarily mean the extension itself is faulty.
