Firefox: extension does not connect after startup

Closed this issue · 2 comments

If the Nextcloud instance is not reachable by the browser at startup, the extension never connects and you need to restart the browser, which can be annoying in a lot of situations.

System Information

  • Extension Version: 2.2.6
  • App Version: 2022.11.21
  • Browser and Version: Firefox 106.0.4 (64-bit)
  • Client OS and Version: Fedora 37

Steps to reproduce

  1. Make sure the Nextcloud instance is unreachable (wifi off, wrong proxy settings, instance down... a lot of things can go wrong)
  2. Start the browser
  3. Make the Nextcloud instance reachable (turn the wifi on, correct the proxy settings, start the instance...)

Expected result

The extension should connect to the instance and activate the features.

Actual result

The extension never connects, and clicking on the icon show the interface with no passwords at all.
