Hi, Looks like you are using WaterFox! Can you install FireFox (quantom) and check if problem exists? If yes, can you provide content of this file please? cat .mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/com.persepolis.pdmchromewrapper.json

WaterFox might be not compatible with Firefox Quantom, Best approach would be migrating to FF Quantom. If you can't, try putting this in code: {"name": "com.persepolis.pdmchromewrapper", "type": "stdio", "path": "/home/black-hole/.config/persepolis_download_manager/persepolis_run_shell", "description": "Integrate Persepolis with firefox using WebExtensions", "allowed_extensions": ["com.persepolis.pdmchromewrapper@persepolisdm.github.io", "com.persepolis.pdmchromewrapper.offline@persepolisdm.github.io"]}

in this file: ~/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/com.persepolis.pdmchromewrapper.json

If that didn't help, There is nothing i can do

Apparently Waterfox uses another path for NHM extensions ~/.waterfox/.. instead of ~/.mozilla. Current temporary fix is to copy ~/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/com.persepolis.pdmchromewrapper.json to ~/.waterfox/native-messaging-hosts/com.persepolis.pdmchromewrapper.json
