It would be fair to mention everywhere the well-known problem with snaps on Ubuntu that dramatically cripples the usability of this otherwise great software. Ubuntu is just the largest Linux distribution by far, and you've lost it...

As I said some years ago, you need an alternative way of communication. Shouldn't be so hard, Mozilla Docs says you can use sockets to communicate with local applications (by Native messaging). It's presumably just plain TCP/IP. Even password managers are mentioned as examples...

Time has come - already in 2021 but I postponed the upgrade so far -, and there is no apt-based version of FireFox as a second choice anymore in Ubuntu, only the Snap Store-based, so we are doomed. I will not go backward installing a browser from a place out of the Ubuntu's own ecosystem. Thank you.

My response to your response:

Thank you, but an alternative means an alternative. If not the Native Messaging then an encrypted file or similar would have been developed as a way of communication. We talk about years... No way that a FireFox extension can't and couldn't communicate with the outer world.

But as I'm reading here, see the link below that is really easy to find, no doubt, the problem not handling the Native Messaging correctly is in the browsers themselves, and it is already _solved_ after some years in FireFox (in 105..108 betas so far), KeePassXC is working (!) in the tests, I'm about to try it soon. So you are also not informed well enough for some reason...

It is only in the Beta channel until the next version of FireFox, probably since it is a fresh development from this summer, but it is OK to me because there is a snap of every FireFox beta as well in Ubuntu, and I can install it in parallel to the non-beta version for now if I want.

As I told you, Ubuntu decided sometimes earlier to go with only the snap version of browsers and even if I'm not hundred percent sure it is the best way to go forward, I will not install the less safe and unsupported apt version of browsers again.

The problem here is with Ubuntu Snaps, not with our extension. And the problem is.. with the Native Messaging support. Other extensions are affected too. At this point Ubuntu 22.10 should already support our extension with Firefox as Snap. You can find the info easily. It's also possible to install apt version of Firefox.

We have been using Native Messaging with the extension since the development started in 2016-2017.

It 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?

it 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.

First 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.

Currently 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.

Dear 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.

KeePassXC-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.

All 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.
