I'm running firefox in flatpak, and i'm trying to source my tridactylrc in ~/.config/tridactyl/tridactylrc. Doing :viewsource ~/.config/tridactyl/tridactylrc, also tried the full path, but nothing.

  • Tridactyl version (:version): 1.23.0pre6803-89a7e613

  • Firefox version (Top right menu > Help > About Firefox): 118.0.2 (64-bit)

  • Config (in a new tab, run :viewconfig --user, copy the url and paste it somewhere like gist.github.com):

    {"update":{"lastchecktime":1698840490003},"configversion":"2.0"}

  • Contents of ~/.tridactylrc or ~/.config/tridactyl/tridactylrc (if they exist):

Insert tridactylrc contents between the backticks

Firefox is able to access the file when I navigate to file:///home/<user>/.config/tridactyl/tridactylrc

Worth noting, I've had to manually expose that directory via KDE's built-in FlatSeal alternative.

more basic potential issues:

  • the command is :source, not :viewsource :)
  • what's the output of :native? What about :! ls ~?

Have you followed tridactyl/tridactyl#containerizedsandboxed-firefox-installations ?

I did! But :native still complains that it's not installed, though the permissions have definitely been set up.

$ flatpak permission-show org.mozilla.firefox
Table             Object            App                 Permissions                  Data

desktop-used-apps text/plain        org.mozilla.firefox nvim,1,3                     0x00

the command is :source, not :viewsource :)

Ah sorry, that's a copy paste error. I was actually doing :source.

I do wonder, why is native needed to source from the filesystem considering Firefox has access to the rc?

hoshsadiq commented

Seems like native messaging might not be supported in Flatpak just yet as a PR is still pending: flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal#705

I gave up. Went back to the rpm build. Had a few other issues with Firefox in Flatpak.

@hoshsadiq FWIW, you can install the native messenger inside the sandbox in the meanwhile: tridactyl/native_messenger#70
