Call for testing: native messaging support in the Firefox snap

Works for me using the KeepassXC browser addon.

  1. I reinstalled the snap firefox --beta (having previously removed it - I’ve been running it from the tar.gz installation as detailed on Mozilla’s webpage). Upon startup, I created a fresh profile, accepting the permissions dialog option for native messaging. Then I closed FF.
  2. Then I copied the contents of my existing profile folder from .mozilla/firefox/profile.name into this new snap profile folder at snap/firefox/common/.mozilla/firefox/profile.name after first deleting the existing contents.
  3. It all starts up (quite fast) and works immediately with all existing configs, addons and bookmarks. KeepassXC addon is fine and works normally.
