by Firefox user 16994290, 2 years agoIf your browser is sandboxed with Snap or Flatpak, this extension does not work. It's not fixable as the required integration breaks the sandbox and so won't be allowed. If you have a browser installed on your host computer (i.e. native, not sandboxed) then there is no problem with this extension. But since Firefox is now ONLY supplied as Flatpak or Snaps on Ubuntu, this effectively locks out all Linux users from using KeepassXC.
> his has nothing to do with the extension itself, but Snap/Flatpak implementation of the browser itself.
But it has everything to do with the extension. It is designed in a way that is simply incompatible with the security model of a sandboxed browser. Nothing about the sandbox is "broken", the kind of code execution required by the extension and the server is what a sandbox is designed to prevent. This is exactly what a malicious extension would do to break out of the sandbox. The team should be working on this, or else users will just abandon the project. I'm certainly not going to try to convince Ubuntu that Snap is broken on your behalf, I'm just going to install something else that works.

posted 2 years agoThis has nothing to do with the extension itself, but Snap/Flatpak implementation of the browser itself. Ubuntu already added support for Native Messaging with Snap Firefox. If it's broken, Ubuntu's Snap team should be contacted. Sadly we cannot do anything about it.

- Rated 1 out of 5by John Hills, 3 days agoThe addon randomly shows errors like "KeePassXC-Browser has encountered an error: Key exchange was not successful" which means absolutely nothing to the user and does not help solve the problem in any way. It is the same as showing a message "Error: There has been an error. You're unlucky, too bad for you."

posted 3 days agoGitHub already has an issue about this. In short, there's no way to get details from the API why the key exchange / connection fails. I suggest you take a look at the most common error threads and our Troubleshooting Guide at GitHub. - Rated 5 out of 5by Lani, 20 days agoIt seems that the path for native-messaging-hosts is hardcoded.
I want to move the file located at [~/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/org.keepassxc.keepassxc_browser.json] to [xdg-directory :: ~/.config/mozilla], but it fails.
help me? - Rated 1 out of 5by Ethan, 23 days agoit doesn't work when the password is on another page after the email. it always puts the wrong password from another account without even asking which account. developers, add a dropdown to ask the user from which account to take the password, don't just put any random password from any random account in the database. changing any setting didn't fix this.

posted 22 days agoFirst of all, this shouldn't happen. There's already a dropdown selector when filling usernames or password from multiple accounts. Selector from the popup works as well. There are some settings that try to fill the password automatically for the selected username. Disabling those should help. If not, please file an issue to GitHub, thanks. - Rated 5 out of 5by A1, a month ago

I would have love to have this work on Bazitte with it’s firefox in a flatpak - Rated 1 out of 5by FartPie, 3 months agoCurrently completely broken with more restrictive privacy configurations due to a bug (#2672) that was reported over two months ago and patched over a month ago - and still not released.
I would have thought show stopping bugs would be worth a point release, but apparently not.Developer response
posted 3 months agoDear FartPie (love the nick btw), we've been collecting a bunch of various fixes and new features for the release, and it will be published soon. The bug you mentioned was not really high-priority, and not affecting many people so it didn't require a separate hotfix release. - Rated 5 out of 5by Davide, 3 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Lilith D. Bracken, 4 months agoKeePassXC-Browser is a great companion for the KeePassXC password manager. It makes filling in passwords and logging into sites quick and secure, without having to copy and paste manually. The integration is smooth, easy to use, and keeps your credentials safe. Perfect for anyone who wants strong password management right in the browser.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19484545, 5 months agoAll of a sudden the connection between the extension and the app has broken and the extension doesn't function in any useful way. I'm surmising it's something to do with an update to Firefox to version 143.0.
