Canonical](https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D140803#5731628) and
the patch has been taken over by :bandali. I'm therefore re-assigning

The snap now supports native messaging through the use of [the
`WebExtensions` portal](https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-

and 22.10.

@slalomsk8er, I'm not disagreeing with snap's shortcomings, I'm just providing
alternatives for anyone who's run into such issues. There is now also the

Plasma Browser integration now kind of works with:

but I had to manually set permission - following directions for
KeePassXC integration.
Steps:
sudo apt-get install flatpak
flatpak permission-set
One can use the builds directly from Mozilla
https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ but the onus is on the
user/sysadmin to keep it updated.
