Setup Incomplete, Installation of the DEB file doesnt work.

[psmgeelen]

After installing the add-on, the add-on requests me to 'complete the setup'. I walk through the questionnaire and end up with a DEB file that I need to install, so I do that. After restarting firefox, the issue persists. I installed firefox using apt and not snap.

The version of 119. My OS is: Ubuntu 23.10 x86_64 My desktop Environment is vanilla Ubuntu: GNOME 45.0

I have the same experience

@WayneBrummer , what OS are you using?

[WayneBrummer]

Ubuntu 22.04.0 LTS and FF 119

[WayneBrummer]

I see some older posts that it has something to do with the version of FF?

Maybe if we tag @null-dev , we can get a response more quickly :rofl:

I'm getting this issue as well, Ubuntu 22.04.3, Firefox 119.0b9. I tried running firefox from the command line and saw these messages:

** (firefox:2468888): WARNING **: 14:25:14.589: OnCloseSessionDone error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Object does not exist at path “/org/freedesktop/portal/desktop/session/1_19902/firefox_ax_nd_profile_switcher_ff_4132807681”

After doing some googling on some of that, I found that by running Firefox like so: MOZ_LOG=NativeMessagingPortal:5 snap run firefox produces a little more info, I got these lines as well:

Perhaps this can help, @null-dev ?

I'm still not able to get this to work, however after some more googling I found a similar log in another github repo issue, so I tried doing what one of the commenters suggested, for this extension instead, with:

flatpak permission-set webextensions ax.nd.profile_switcher_ff snap.firefox yes

Running Firefox with MOZ_LOG=NativeMessagingPortal:5 snap run firefox results in this block, which is slightly different from previously, repeated every couple of seconds:

As you can see, it now reports that the native application started successfully, however I am still getting "Setup Incomplete" from the extension.
