by rustymonkey, 7 years agoWas really looking forward to trying this out, but I can't seem to get it to work at all.
Tested with FF 64.0 Portable, KP XC 2.3.4 Portable, and followed directions at https://keepassxc.org/docs/keepassxc-browser-migration/ , but cannot seem to get the browser to connect to the DB. Per the instructions, I've enabled browser integration for FF, but receive the following Error from the plug-in: "Cannot encrypt message or public key not found. Is native messaging or support for your browser enabled in KeePassXC?". Reload button doesn't help, nor does restarting the apps.
EDIT:
Thanks for responding. It sounds as if I need to make some changes to the FF launcher's ini file (in order to get FF Portable to work with this), but it's unclear what those changes are. After searching around a bit more, I see that others are experiencing this problem as well:
https://portableapps.com/node/57907
https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/1817
I saw some information at https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/1559#issuecomment-369508900 regarding what registry entries need to be shared, but it's unclear to me exactly what steps I need to take to get FF Portable to work with KeePass-XC portable. Could you provide a bit more information about exactly what .ini files I need to edit and with what changes?
EDIT 2: Another user commented that disabling the proxy (Tools > Settings > Browser integration > Advanced) solved the integration issues. I've tried this, and it seems to be a good workaround. The downside is that a second copy of KeePass XC launches with the proxy disabled, but at least it seems to work.

Developer response
posted 7 years agoThe problem here is the Windows registry. Firefox Portable doesn't properly read the registry where the location of Native Messaging script file is defined. This would need a change to the Firefox Portable that it would allow to read Firefox registry entries outside the portable application. The only solution for this could be to use PortableApps Launcher and tweak the registry settings from there. See https://portableapps.com/manuals/PortableApps.comLauncher/topics/registry.html
EDIT: The issue #1817 is updated with the latest findings. Please continue the conversation there is possible.

- Rated 4 out of 5by late night traveler, 21 days agoAfter updating to 1.9.9.3, some sites (such as Reddit) can no longer detect the login field. I'm in trouble.
Developer response
posted 20 days agoThis happened because of better protections against clickjacking introduced in 1.9.9.3. The issue with e.g. Reddit is already fixed, and we are doing another release soon. Thanks :) - Rated 5 out of 5by vanoc, 21 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13478716, 2 months agoI tried several programs before finding this one that really suits me. I love that I can use it on all my devices on 4 different systems (Windows 11, MacOS 15, Android 15 and Linux Mint 22)! On top of all its amazing features, it's free! Great developers! Thank you!

- Rated 2 out of 5by bumpsy, 3 months agorecently it just always fails to connect to the database. Didn't have problems for months but now it just loads indefinitely until I reinstall the extention. It's just faster to copy and paste manually...
