Rated 3 out of 5
by rustymonkey, 7 years agoWas really looking forward to trying this out, but I can't seem to get it to work at all.
Tested with FF 64.0 Portable, KP XC 2.3.4 Portable, and followed directions at https://keepassxc.org/docs/keepassxc-browser-migration/ , but cannot seem to get the browser to connect to the DB. Per the instructions, I've enabled browser integration for FF, but receive the following Error from the plug-in: "Cannot encrypt message or public key not found. Is native messaging or support for your browser enabled in KeePassXC?". Reload button doesn't help, nor does restarting the apps.
EDIT:
Thanks for responding. It sounds as if I need to make some changes to the FF launcher's ini file (in order to get FF Portable to work with this), but it's unclear what those changes are. After searching around a bit more, I see that others are experiencing this problem as well:
https://portableapps.com/node/57907
https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/1817
I saw some information at https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/1559#issuecomment-369508900 regarding what registry entries need to be shared, but it's unclear to me exactly what steps I need to take to get FF Portable to work with KeePass-XC portable. Could you provide a bit more information about exactly what .ini files I need to edit and with what changes?
EDIT 2: Another user commented that disabling the proxy (Tools > Settings > Browser integration > Advanced) solved the integration issues. I've tried this, and it seems to be a good workaround. The downside is that a second copy of KeePass XC launches with the proxy disabled, but at least it seems to work.

Developer response
posted 7 years agoThe problem here is the Windows registry. Firefox Portable doesn't properly read the registry where the location of Native Messaging script file is defined. This would need a change to the Firefox Portable that it would allow to read Firefox registry entries outside the portable application. The only solution for this could be to use PortableApps Launcher and tweak the registry settings from there. See https://portableapps.com/manuals/PortableApps.comLauncher/topics/registry.html
EDIT: The issue #1817 is updated with the latest findings. Please continue the conversation there is possible.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 17426555, 8 days agoLove the extension but it's useless to me until it works in flatpaks. Uninstalling until that's fixed.

- Rated 5 out of 5by WadamT, 2 months agoSimple and nice extension for a good password manager. Connecting to KeepassXC database is easy. Passkey integration is awesome.
- Rated 5 out of 5by zycron, 2 months agoFonctionne parfaitement pour moi sous W11/FF137.0.2, mais impossible de le mettre en oeuvre sous Plucky Puffin Kubuntu 25-04.
Je ne sais pas dans quel camp est la balle, mais ce serait bien que conjointement, la communauté Ubuntu, Mozzila et le développeur se donnent la main pour résoudre ce problème, qui semble connu...

- Rated 3 out of 5by Mirage, 3 months agoThe extension displays this error (On Firefox, Chrome, Brave..):
Error! Error: No login found. www.mon-compte.bouyguestelecom.fr
Normal the URL is this: www.bouyguestelecom.fr/mon-compte
How can this error be corrected?
