Help with firefox snap installation

Lovecraft-github opened this issue · comments

I can't make it works in my firefox snap installation.

I installed the extension from https://addons.mozilla.org/eu/firefox/addon/ff2mpv/
I downloaded the native client and installed it folowing #80

I put the ff2mpv.json in /home/user/snap/firefox/common/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts
and ff2mpv.py in /home/user/snap/firefox/common/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/ff2mpv
I made it executable and modified the path in the json like that

{
"name": "ff2mpv",
"description": "ff2mpv's external manifest",
"path": "/home/user/snap/firefox/common/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/ff2mpv/ff2mpv.py",
"type": "stdio",
"allowed_extensions": ["ff2mpv@yossarian.net"]
}

flatpak permissions webextensions looks like that
