Does not find or cannot connect to databae

Hi,
I resently switched to Fedora + Wayland and the keepass autotype feature does not work there apparently.
For my Firefox I installed KeepassXC-Browser and it works nicely. I was very happy to see this Thunderbrid-Add-On that from what I understand seems to be the equivalent.
I installed the Add-On (currently running 1.0.2.1).
When I start Thunderbird the password dialog show "Loading passwords..." but after roughly 2 minutes is switches to "No passwords found". KeepassXC is opend and unlocked.
What can I do? :)
How can I provide more debugging information?
Would really love to get this working.
Ty a lot for the work here.
Franz
OS: Fedora 36
Thunderbrid version: 91.10.0
Keepasscs-mail version: 1.0.2.1
In the addon overview page of Thunderbird is a gear wheel in the top left. There is an option to debug add-ons. Then you can inspect the add-on and then you will see the console of the add-on:
There you might see the problem.
Sadly this does not give too much information.
I see these lines repeating:
Later in the log it's these lines:
Hm... the name of the native application should not be the same all the time. Does it cycle between "de.kkapsner.keepassxc_mail", "org.keepassxc.keepassxc_mail", and "org.keepassxc.keepassxc_browser"?
Did you follow these instructions: https://github.com/kkapsner/keepassxc-mail#installation-for-keepassxc
I am pretty sure I followed the installation instructions exactly.
But you are right the applications changes. I originally posted only parts of what I see in the log because I didn't want to leak personal information. But I hope I actually removed it now :)
Here is the full log.
Seems similar to #61. Do have some hardening software/configuration?
What is the content of ~/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/de.kkapsner.keepassxc_mail.json and ~/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/org.keepassxc.keepassxc_browser.json?
Please check for related entries in the Thunderbird console (Ctrl +Shift + J).
I think the json files are correct:
I do not have firejail installed. Here is a screenshot of the console filtered for errors:
Sadly I am completely lost in trying to understand this ...
I'm not able to reproduce your problem in a Fedora VM.
How did you install Thunderbird? (I installed it via dnf)
If it works in Firefox then there is some security software/feature in place (maybe SELinux... but only you know your system). Otherwise you should get entries in you console stating "This extension does not have permission to use native manifest ~/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/org.keepassxc.keepassxc_browser.json"
I installed via a flatpack ... I will try it with dnf tomorrow (it's getting late for me now :)
But this seems to be the problem.Stupid me ... Ty a lot.
Good to hear that it works now.
I installed via a flatpack
Interesting that it does not work with flatpack.
But this seems to be the problem.Stupid me ...
No problem. I also did not know that it does not work in flatpack on Fedora.
Ty a lot.
You're welcome.
