Bug Description I am getting this error when i try to download from twitter or other similar ebsite that requries account login. i enabled and disable the cookie setting but still no luck. error was about it can\t access firefox cookies.

app works fine in v15, as i reverted back to that version in flatpak. Now i am able to download from website that requires account login, like twitter. I used this guide to revert https://itsfoss.com/downgrade-flatpak-packages/

Right, permissions were restricted in one of recent updates for security purposes. Before, app had permission to access home directory, now it doesn't. You can enable home directory permissions with flatseal and it should work fine again

Yes I am thinking about where to add. :)

rahmanshaber commented 8 months ago

maybe below the cookie settings, saying "if using flatpack, need to have more permission and that can be done using flatseal"

aandrew-me commented 8 months ago

Yeah right, I will show that text only for flatpak users. (Will be in next update) For now I am adding it to package description on flathub.
