It seems, Belgium eID (Comment #36) uses PKCS#11, not native messaging: https://github.com/Fedict/eid-mw/blob/master/plugins_tools/xpi/new-src/manifest.json However the problem is essentially the same: native manifest. Olivier filed a bug in Firefox bugzilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/1734371 "Firefox snap can't load PKCS#11 modules on the host system"
I suppose, the title of this bug does not reflect scale of the problem. All browser add-ons that relies on native manifests are affected in Chromium and Firefox. I came across this issue testing an extension in Firefox using Ubuntu-21.10 live image. I am considering whether it is feasible to run a kind of thin proxy server on host that creates a socket inside a directory mounted to snap and runs a binary in response to connection (something like inetd). It requires a stub for native messaging app that connects to the server and pass through requests and responses. Generally it does not differ too much from D-Bus and ideally requires support from Firefox for robust checks if particular add-on is allowed to run a specific app. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1741074 Title: [snap] chrome-gnome-shell extension fails to detect native host connector Status in Mozilla Firefox: New Status in KeePassXC Snap Builds: Unknown Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in goopg package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in kdeconnect package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: (initially reported at https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/chrome-gnome- shell-does-not-work-with-chromium-snap/3377) See attached screenshot.
