• Browser name: LibreWolf, Iridium
• Browser version: (94.01), (2021.12)

Extension Buster Client on MacOS.

• Extension version: 1.3.1
• User input simulation: yes
• Client app version: v0.3.0

Bug description I installed the browser extension some time ago. Because I sometimes an error I also installed the Client App today (following the installation guide for MacOS). Directly after installation I started to experience a problem that I cannot disable/enable other extensions in my browser anymore. All are stuck. If I remove the 'buster' folder from /Users/myusername/.local/opt/ it works again in LibreWolf but not in Iridium.. How to uninstall the client app properly?

Logs I cannot find any buster-client-log logfiles on MacOS.

In addition to the .local/opt/buster folder, the client app installer creates a manifest file on macOS, the path of which depends on the browser, and it can be edited during the installation process. The manifest for Chrome would be in the /Users/myusername/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/NativeMessagingHosts folder by default. When you use an alternative browser, this is the path you have to edit during installation for it to be successful.

An extension or manifest file should not be able to affect the state of other extensions, you should report the bug to the maintainers of these browsers.

Thanks @dessant, you are right. It was something about the browsers functionality that I didn't expect.
