Just got this error. Vaguely remember similar issue years ago. Now on MacOS M2 Firefox 121.01. Since Update Jabref 5.12. Backroll to 5.11 does not solve. ?OS/Browser/Jabref/Python chnages ?

I have the same error. Any luck?

Copy the >org.jabref.jabref.json< file to /Library/Application Support/Mozilla/NativeMessagingHosts/org.jabref.jabref.json. Solved the error. However, Macos Gatekeeper would not let the application run (recent upgrade Sonoma 14.2.1). Disabling the Gatekeeper with <sudo spctl --global-disable> and the plugin runs.

So, probably an issue for the brilliant developer to solve with Apple.

Interestingly, now that it is up and running again, switching the Gatekeeper back on does not interfere any longer. All working nicely.

We had issues with the macos certificates. Maybe that's the reason why the gatekeeper blocker the execution.

Otherwise, please follow https://docs.jabref.org/collect/jabref-browser-extension#manual-installation

This part of the manual does not work:

Check that the Python script works. In Terminal run /Applications/JabRef.app/Contents/Resources/jabrefHost.py. If there are no errors the script is working properly. Stop the script by pressing Ctrl + D.

% /Applications/JabRef.app/Contents/Resources/jabrefHost.py
