You need to enable secure file host in Desktop App.

Then, restart browser and desktop app.

Tested in:

  1. Firefox 118.0.1 (64-bit) with Buttercup extension 3.2.0 in Ubuntu 23.10;
  2. Brave Version 1.65.114 Chromium: 124.0.6367.60 (Official Build) (64-bit) with Buttercup extension 3.2.0 in Ubuntu 23.10; and
