Is this scheduled to be fixed soon? My apologies if this may not be the
right bug but I use Firefox and cannot log into the Zoom app behind a
SSO login (as it must go to zoom.us). Firefox already has safeguards
about "are you sure you want to open this" and asks twice. It worked
fine in KUbuntu
Similar problems exist with for example expressVPN (which recommends to
uninstall the snap version and install a ppa-version of firefox instead:
https://www.expressvpn.com/de/support/vpn-setup/app-for-linux/#software-
center) and with the video-download-helper extension
Same issue here with KeepassXC native transport on Ubuntu 22.04 and
firefox. Worked flawless on 20.04.

Unlikely. There are a number of higher priority issues with the chromium
snap that we're focusing on now, and the plan to transition from the deb
to the snap in 19.10 still holds.
I know this isn't a proper fix, merely a workaround, but you can use
gnome-tweaks to manage your gnome-shell
This is really frustrating and 19.10 is coming up fast which I
understand will switch everyone over to snap based chromium making
extensions.gnome.org unusable for everyone. Any chance of switching back
to non-snap based chromium if this issue isn't resolved before then?

Also, the connector talks to the org.gnome.Shell.Extensions D-Bus API,
for which there doesn't exist a snapd interface, so one would need to be
written, and I'm pretty sure it wouldn't qualify for auto-connection
