[Desktop-packages] [Bug 2051188] Re: Firefox 122 update breaks webextensions permission
Hi Paul, I don't think so? Yesterday I tested on Firefox 123 an extension that requires natives messaging to work, and it seemed to work just fine. Could you please double-check that the issue is happening with Firefox 123, and if so, please provide more details including some logs, screenshots, and steps to reproduce the issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2051188 Title: Firefox 122 update breaks webextensions permission Status in Mozilla Firefox: Fix Released Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: We build webextensions for Firefox.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 2051188] Re: Firefox 122 update breaks webextensions permission
Thank you for confirming, Paul. This happened because after the recent refresh of the native messaging patch shipped with the Firefox snap, it started using a newer 'GetManifest' DBus method from xdg-desktop-portal that hasn't yet been backported to the version of the portal available in Ubuntu 22.04. I sadly didn't catch this earlier because I did the development and testing work for this on Ubuntu 23.10 (which has an up-to-date portal package that does include the GetManifest method), and forgot to test it on Ubuntu 22.04. I'm working to fix this ASAP by removing the use of GetManifest in the patch for the time being, until we get a newer version of xdg-desktop- portal backported to Ubuntu 22.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2051188 Title: Firefox 122 update breaks webextensions permission Status in Mozilla Firefox: Unknown Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: We build webextensions for Firefox.
