Integration between Linux app and Snap Firefox

Some days ago it was released the support for Native Messaging (still experimental) with Snap Firefox. I checked, but the integration between Linux app and Snap Firefox still doesn't work. I was wondering if the integration uses Native Messaging or other way to implement, and if it is using other way, if it could be ported to use Native Messaging, so Linux app could work with Snap Firefox. We are discussing this matter here

1Password Version: 8.9.0~1.BETA
Extension Version: 2.3.7
OS Version: Ubuntu Kinetic
Browser:_ Firefox

    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.

    Hey folks! Thanks for bringing this development to our attention. We've been waiting for something like this. 🤞 Hopefully the Snap distribution of Firefox now includes what we need to make this happen. I've alerted the appropriate teams so they can triage this work.

    I'm also interested in hearing back more about this. We were told https://1password.community/discussion/comment/616198/#Comment_616198 that the team is working on this, but as of today, the only way to get this working is to fall back to using the deb versions of both firefox and 1password which is a pain to have to manually set up.
