I just migrated from 21.04 to 21.10, and as a result, I'm now defaulting to Firefox snap package.

It seems this breaks Browerpass plugin, with this error:

Error: Error: Attempt to postMessage on disconnected port

It also seems to break Gnome extensions management from Firefox.

So, what are the possibilities/limits of Firefox snap package regarding plugins, especially those that rely on Native Messaging ?

    Does this answer your question? 21.10 Firefox Missing Profiles ← remove Snap of Firefox, install deb instead. – N0rbert Oct 23 '21 at 20:19

    I would ask this possibilities/limits question in https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/feature-freeze-exception-seeding-the-official-firefox-snap-in-ubuntu-desktop/24210 . Gnome extensions management is already discussed in that thread. To me, it looks like another bug report for Mozilla (the author of the Snap), since I doubt that they intended to break add-ons. Replacing the Snap with a deb is only a temporary workaround; current plan is that the deb will no longer be made in 22.04 unless a community group steps up to adopt it. – user535733 Oct 23 '21 at 21:56
  • @kanehekili I'd suggest keeping an open mind -- there are some big advantages to the change. It's all in the first post of the linked thread. Note that it's a testing and technical feedback thread for a decision that has already been made. It's not an opinion or complaint thread. – user535733 Oct 23 '21 at 23:28
