MozillaVPN not recognized

Open suncoastkid opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Add-on is not recognizing that MozillaVPN is installed on Ubuntu 20.04 and Firefox 99.0.1 and instructs to install it. Although the screen shot shows "unstable connection" this fails to connect even with a good connection. vpn

@suncoastkid Do you use the Snap package of Firefox?

@dannycolin : Firefox 114 (not snap, but official package ubuntu) Firefox Multi-Account Containers version 8.1.2 Mozilla VPN App 2.15.0 (2.15.0-focal1)

I start Firefox then the VPN (no autostart) , maybe it has some impacts and I do not start everytime a connection (I understood it can be done on a container basis...)

I was able to fix this in Linux Mint 21.3 by copying mozillavpn.json from /usr/lib/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts to ~/.mozilla/firefox/native-messaging-hosts and changing the path property in the new copy from /lib/mozillavpn/mozillavpnnp to /usr/lib/mozillavpn/mozillavpnnp.

There's a symlink from lib to user/lib that should handle this but for some reason FF doesn't seem to be able to follow it.
