Error: Native application tried to send a message of 1634038339 bytes, which exceeds the limit of 1048576 bytes

Overview

I’m getting this error in the debug output of the Firefox plug-in itself and a couple of related errors, but I think they are caused by the original error, but I’ll include them anyway. I have gone through the troubleshooting section in the README.md and everything there seems to be correct on my system.

Errors

• Firefox plugin: Disconnected from native app: Error: Native application tried to send a message of 1634038339 bytes, which exceeds the limit of 1048576 bytes.

I believe I have fixed this issue. Apparently, the issue was a print() used for debugging when setting up the UNIX-socket server.

4 hours well spent…

Quick and dirty workaround if you have python3 on your machine: Change the shebang (first line of script Pywalfox/daemon/pywalfox.py) from #!/usr/bin/env python to #!/usr/bin/env python3

Oh almost forgot, thanks Frewacom for your great work and thanks for posting it on unixporn.
