Native Application Not Found

[JamesDalboth]

I am currently experiencing issues using the extensions. After a firefox reboot the browser console shows

The relevant line being No such native application pywalfox

My python version is 3.6.9.

My manifest is located in ~/.mozila/native-messaging-hosts/pywalfox.json and looks like

{
  "name": "pywalfox",
  "description": "Automatically theme firefox using system colors generated by Pywal",
  "path": "/home/james/Pywalfox/daemon/pywalfox.py",
  "type": "stdio",
  "allowed_extensions": [ "[email protected]" ]
}

I can confirm the pywalfox.py is located in the specified path param. The file has read privileges for all. I have tried to relocate the file to the other specified native manifest locations specified in the moz docs.

Update: Literally just got it working. I read somewhere about a problem with using firefox-bin. Can't remember how I installed firefox originally but I saw in my process manager I was using firefox-bin. I just tried installing firefox74 directly from the mozilla page. Process mananger still shows it running as firefox-bin however it now works. Problem could of simply been my previous firefox version. I will see If I can find what version I was previously running.

The only other version I have installed on my system is 73. I doubt that version is old enough to not work with this extension. Potentially simply reinstalling firefox fixed what ever issue it was? Unfortunatley doesn't help identify the problem in the first place. Glad it now works though, if anyone else experiences this problem, I suggest reinstall firefox. Not that bad if you have a firefox account where you can sync all your settings back.
