Unable to connect to pywalfox daemon in firefox snap #88

Trying to connect to the pywalfox daemon when using the snap version of firefox fails. I suspect it has something to do with the sandboxing of snaps. I suspect that snap is the problem as it works for thunderbird but not firefox.

The same here. I don't know if it is possible to make it on the snap package.

Sandboxing will definitely cause issues. Have a look at https://github.com/Frewacom/pywalfox/issues/60#issuecomment-790819229 for a similar issue with firejail.

I guess you need to somehow whitelist files/executables used by pywalfox, or disable the sandboxing for Firefox if possible.
