Firefox SnapPermanent link for this heading

Firefox Snap needs a permission to use the native messaging host in order for the web browser extension to work. The web browser will normally ask the user to grant access. The permissions can also be set as follows (per user, no administrative rights required):

flatpak permission-set webextensions com.fabasoft.nmhostpu snap.firefox yes

As an alternative to flatpak, the following command can be used:

dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.impl.portal.PermissionStore /org/freedesktop/impl/portal/PermissionStore org.freedesktop.impl.portal.PermissionStore.SetPermission string:'webextensions' boolean:'true' string:'com.fabasoft.nmhostpu' string:'snap.firefox' array:string:'yes'

Client CertificatesPermanent link for this heading

When using a certificate-based authentication the client certificates have to be stored in the Fabasoft Client. To do so, open the context menu of the notification symbol and click “Options”. On the “Certificates” tab, import the client certificate.
