No longer connecting after newest FF update. Downgrade required?

[yarub123]

FF 104.0.2 Prior was 103.0.2 and it worked fine. Might need to downgrade at this point, this extension is the sauce. Period.

Simply does not connect to extension, I've rechecked the preferences location on my computer (not on a cloud), as well as reinstalled workflow/Alfred.

Issue ONLY came up after the FF update.

Prior issue someone had was similar error message that I received. He resolved it by checking preferences was local and not cloud. Unfortunately that's not what's causing the issue for me.

Workflow is up to date and registered with FF.

did you solve this?

@yarub123 we have the same issue, did you solve it?

[yarub123]

Hey guys, @genseric @edgargressie Sorry I haven't been checking notifications. I just saw your responses today. Do you still have the issue? If so, please give me your debug output. Also did you create a new firefox profile, or are you using a firefox fork or more than one Firefox on your computer?

@genseric Hmm, did you change computers or update your browser recently? I'm thinking it's looking for /tmp/alfred-firefox.501.sock in possibly an old profile that you're no longer using.

Is the socket file "tmp/alfred-firefox.501.sock" created when you run the "server.sh" script? Also do you have execute permissions on the script? If not go ahead and give it that through chmod +x (and drag your server.sh script in here!!) or to prevent any admin errors, just run sudo chmod +x (drag server.sh here)

(1) Try this

1. Go ahead and try removing the workflow... you can back up your workflow if you would like before deleting it from alfred preferences.
2. uninstall/remove the addon from FF (this will also help fix any permissions you may not have set when you set it up)
3. Are you running any firewall?

(2) or Try this: For the /tmp directory: Check if you even have it: open your terminal and run the following cd /tmp ls -l alfred-firefox.501.sock

If you don't see the file, which i have a feeling you won't, it means the workflow isn't creating it. If you do see the file run the following to give it permissions: chmod a+w /tmp/alfred-firefox.501.sock

If you don't see the file, then there's something wrong with your workflow. I would uninstall it, then go to your System Settings, and give Alfred the proper permissions, such as permissions in Full Disk access, Accessibility, etc. (If you want to know the specific permissions, they should tell you which ones on the Alfred website). After giving permissions, go ahead and restart, then try reinstalling BOTH the workflow, and the addon as per the instructions on main page.
