VdhCoApp not recognized

[Paolo59it]

Your question

Hello,
I had this issue some weeks ago and solved it with the help at
https://github.com/aclap-dev/video-downloadhelper/wiki/CoApp-not-recognized

Today, after a Firefox update (snap install on Ubuntu 22.04 64bit, browser ver snap 122.0) the issue is up again. The add-on is not able to find the companion app. I tried what worked last time, to no avail. I ran:
sudo apt-get install -y flatpak flatpak permission-set webextensions net.downloadhelper.coapp snap.firefox yes
and
/opt/vdhcoapp/vdhcoapp install
No error occured.

Link to VdhCoApp installed:
https://github.com/aclap-dev/vdhcoapp/releases/download/v2.0.10/vdhcoapp-2.0.10-linux-x86_64.deb
Output of /opt/vdhcoapp/vdhcoapp --info:
"id": "net.downloadhelper.coapp",
"name": "VdhCoApp",
"version": "2.0.10",

Thank you for any help.

Did you run these commands as your regular user (never run these commands as root):

/opt/vdhcoapp/vdhcoapp install
flatpak permission-set webextensions net.downloadhelper.coapp snap.firefox yes

They are meant to be run without sudo.
Make sure to restart Firefox after that.

Ok so I can reproduce here. Firefox Snap version 122 doesn't recognize the coapp.

Working on it.
