Integration between Linux app and Snap Firefox

Hey @jjjttt | mhalano

This is certainly something we'd like to implement, but we don't have any additional news or updates at this time.

Any news about that? The support for native messaging seems already added to Firefox snap.

Over two years have passed since the original post, and the problem seems to persist.
Are there any news? Will it ever work?

Hi @ianwestcott, thanks for reaching out! We don't have any news or information to share on this at the moment, however I've let the team know that you've checked in with us 😄

We'll provide an update as soon as we have news to share.

Hi all - I saw mention of native messaging support in https://ubuntu.com/blog/firefox-snap-updates-and-upgrades, and I'm curious if that means there are new developments regarding this issue. I am among the users who are very much looking forward to having biometric auth restored to the 1Password Firefox extension in Ubuntu without having to revert to the .deb install!

Hey @admiralconcave, I apologize for the delay here but we don't have any plans/roadmaps to share at this time.

It's been almost 1.5 years since Firefox team moved to snap distribution and integration isn't even in beta.

This is making seriously reconsider whether I want to recommend 1password to any of my friends or keep using it all – as far as I can tell neither keepass, nor bitwarden have these issues.

Is there any progress at all towards the integration? Any plans/roadmaps?

Hi folks, thanks for the updates. While Firefox has added support for native messaging in the stable release, the integration between 1Password and Firefox Snap is not expected to work just yet.

We'll provide an update as soon as we have more to share.

Same, the native messaging popup works and I can confirm it was accepted by running flatpak permissions webextensions, but 1password still does not connect to the extension.

Tried with prod and beta versions of 1password (installed from apt), and the Firefox extensions in Ubuntu Kinetic.

In the most recent Firefox update I got a pop-up with a question whether I want to allow 1password to communicate with Firefox.
I did press "yes", but nothing happened afterwards.
Did anyone else see it or am I tripping? If so, did it work for others?

Edit: I'm guessing this was a pop-up related to "native messaging" https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/call-for-testing-native-messaging-support-in-the-firefox-snap/31055/35 in firefox snap stable.

Still, as of now it doesn't work for me.
