Firefox for android support [$100]

[rodrigoaguilera]

Steps to reproduce

1. Install the addon on firefox for android (There is a suggestion for configuring it on the toolbar)
2. Search for a way to configure the extension

Expected behaviour

I can config the extensión in a separate tab

Actual behaviour

The addon is installed but not configured

Configuration

Operating system: android 7.1.2

Browser: 53.0.2

Extensions that might cause interference:

Passman version: 2.1.2

Extension version: 1.2.12

Nextcloud version: 12.0.0

I wonder how difficult will be to add link to configure the addon. Is this or it requires more work?

Firefox for android is not supported at the moment.

[rodrigoaguilera]

Thank you for you answer. I will donate in the meantime :)

I suggest you also put the donation links in the readme of this project.

[brantje]

Thanks! Will add them =)

[rodrigoaguilera]

Great!

Is there a possibility to declare the incompatibility with firefox for android. I feel people will get disappointed if they install and are not able to do anything with the addon rather than a clear message on the addons page that forbids the installation.

[brantje]

I've looked at the addon page, can't see anything to turn it off. @caitmuenster @wagnerand the extension is currently listed as an addon for Android, any way to turn this off?

[rodrigoaguilera]

If I find an example addon I will let you know. Thanks

[brantje]

Ah found it. Under release management i can choose not to distribute for Android.

[rodrigoaguilera]

Perfect!

So how difficult is it to make it work for FF for Android? I assume also Fennec (codename for FF for Android) supports WebExtensions or will, at least, support it in the future, so it should be not that hard to make it work for Fennec, should not it?

[brantje]

No idea, but why? We have an android app that will support auto fill in the future.

[rugk]

Depends on how good this app works with Fennec…

[rodrigoaguilera]

So the app will communicate with any browser to autofill login forms?

[animalillo]

The app is on it's first stages, there will be a keyboard that will let you input the credentials or some other easy fill method that does not require copy-pasting stuff around and switching apps.

[rugk]

Okay, that's how other similar apps do it…

[brantje]

And Android 6 or 7 introduced and API for filling passwords.

Edit: Android O is going to support autofill

[rugk]

Android 6 or 7 introduced and API for filling passwords

…which should only be compatible/supported to/by Fennec.

[brantje]

Whats Fennec?

@rodrigoaguilera version 1.3.2 opens a new tab to configure the extension.

[rodrigoaguilera]

I just freshly installed the 1.3.2 of the add-on and the behavior I described didn't change. I wasn't able to see any config screen.

I try to inspect tools ➡ addons

But there I can only see a description of the addon

[theCalcaholic]

I can confirm that no settings tab is being opened after installing passman (as stated by @rodrigoaguilera). Could you perhaps provide the URL of said config page to help investigate the issue?

I think it would also be a good thing to have a settings menu entry for configuration changes. I actually forked the project (before I knew you had added this config page) to try contributing that functionality - but I'm still struggling to build the project for firefox.

[brantje]

As stated earlier, at this moment the firefox addon doesn't support Android. And with the android app in the pipeline i don't know if i have to spend energy on this. If we get auto fill working in the app, what would the benefit be of an Android firefox extension?

[theCalcaholic]

None, I'm just a bit sceptic towards how the autofill feature will work. But I'll happily be convinced. :D

I was just curious, because 5 days ago you said (as response to this issue) that the addon should now open a new tab after installation.

[rodrigoaguilera]

I fully support whatever the maintainers of think is the best way. Passman is not in a stage for duplicating efforts

[theCalcaholic]

Agreed.

[tigermick]

Hi ! I have installed passman extension for android firefox and impossible to set address, login and password about my nextcloud server .. Still not possible since last time please?

[brantje]

Not possible. We will focus on the Android app. That way all Android users can use passman, and not only firefox users.

[theCalcaholic]

Just a notice: As of Firefox 57 (current Beta) the passman extension works flawlessly.

[rodrigoaguilera]

@theCalcaholic Can you post some screenshots on how is the interface on android? I don't have a phone with me right now to install firefox beta

[theCalcaholic]

Sure. The Passman interface opens in its own tab instead of the popup you know from the desktop. Injection into Login forms works as usual.

When viewing a profile, the styling is not really mobile optimized, so some scrolling/zooming is required:

Just to show that passman has opened in its own tab:

[poiNt3D]

It works in Firefox beta 57, but if you close Firefox it will loose login settings.

[theCalcaholic]

@poiNt3D Unfortunately, yes.

[bart886]

Hello Android 6, Firefox 56. I click in menu on passman and nothing works. Someone repair this extension?

[brantje]

Uhm did you even read the issue? Passman on Firefox for Android is currently not supported.

[bart886]

Ok thanks. I go find other passwords manager.

[brantje]

We do have a Android app ;)

[bart886]

Yes i now, but i want automatically write passwords. In app just copy and past on Firefox.

[Jeltel]

With Firefox Version 57 out now it does work. The interface is a bit small on my 1080p screen. But it works :)

[brantje]

Yea we have a PR pending for that, but commits are not signed so will port those =)

[poiNt3D]

Hooray! You are the best!

[rugk]

BTW as for signiong commits: You can use the command line instructions, GitHub shows at the PR at the bottom. THis will download it locally, merge it there and upload a (signed) version.

[animalillo]

but you need to rebase to keep the whole history signed

[rugk]

I think it is enough if the merge commit is signed… it includes all changes.

[bart886]

@Jeltel on android?

[Jeltel]

Yes, on android

OK it`s work. On mobile device scaled to a smaller screen it is great. I test passman some time. Thanks.

[brantje]

When #216 is merged, could you guy's test the master on Firefox for Android? If everything works then i'll release it to AMO & Chrome store.

[JohnMH]

@brantje I think it's safe to close this issue now.

[poiNt3D]

Firefox 57, Passman 2.0.4 still doesn't save settings Can anyone confirm?
