issues with keefox since thunderbird 52

[eseb63]

hello,

i use portable editions of thunderbird (52.3.0) and Keepass (2.36) with keefox 1.7.2.

i have problems since thunderbird version 52.0 :

• the authentification popup layout is broken : buttons are nearly entirely hidden

• keefox doesn't launch keepass anymore if a relative path is specified in the options (it works with an absolute one) ; these problems don't occur with thunderbird 45.8 and older

• when clicking the browse button (for example keepass tab in the options) the specified relative path is ignored.

these relative path problems exist also with Firefox since a few months so it seems to be a global issue with relative path handling ?

could you fix them in Keefox 1.8, or at least in future 2.0 ?

thanks in advance

any reaction about these issues?

Hi,

I've not had time to review this issue in detail but have chosen to paste this standard message below so that anyone interested can understand if no activity occurs until next year and why at that time we may close the issue.

First, please see http://keefox.org/news/detail/2017/09/19/introducing-kee-20

The issues that affect Kee 2.0 will be different to KeeFox 1.7 and even where the same issues affect both versions, the cause will usually be different.

This issue will not be addressed here unless it is specific to Thunderbird or a serious problem affecting Firefox 52 ESR. Please get in touch privately if you find a security flaw regardless of which Mozilla application it affects to ensure a process of responsible disclosure can be followed.

If the issue is still relevant in Kee 2.0 please raise an issue in the new repository. For issues relating to the web browser add-on, or when you are not sure, please use https://github.com/kee-org/browser-addon/issues. For issues that affect the KeePass plugin (KeePassRPC) please use https://github.com/kee-org/keepassrpc/issues

I appreciate this might be disappointing for some people watching tickets involving things you feel would be great improvements or fix irritating bugs and limitations with KeeFox 1.x but I hope you'll understand that it's not wise to spend time on a version of the add-on which will cease to function in the latest version of Firefox in a month.

If you want to express an opinion or emotion relating to this comment, please use the "reaction" buttons rather than writing a new comment if possible - that will make it easier to tidy things up in 2018 so we can spend more time improving KeeFox instead of managing project admin.

If you'd like to comment or ask about the more general migration plan and reasoning for Kee 2.0, please join in the discussion at https://github.com/kee-org/browser-addon/issues/1 if there is no more specific issue or forum for discussion.

Thanks, Chris

Due to the recent split between Thunderbird and Firefox extensions, we have started a fork of KeeFox specifically for Thunderbird. We are calling this new extension KeeBird and the code and issue tracking are now in a new GitHub repository. If anyone is still interested in getting this issue resolved, please let us know by opening a new issue at https://github.com/kee-org/keebird/issues and copy/paste any relevant information (or at least link to this issue).

P.S. I have a potential fix for this already, but it could still be useful to move the issue to the new repo.
