Native messaging application is outdated

See original GitHub issue

I just installed pywalfox on a clean install of Firefox and whenever I start up firefox, I get the following error screen:

However, pywalfox --version on the command line (which I think is the native messaging application, right?) gives v2.7.1, the newest version. Do you know what’s going on? This on Ubuntu 18.04, Firefox 83.0

And opening up Pywalfox settings, it is unable to fetch the theme colors (though it can switch between light and dark mode).

I suppose we can close it for now. Sorry for not being of more help. I have tried to reproduce the issue on my computer but to no avail, nor do I see anything in the code that would cause this. Most likely it is something with your setup, but the lack of errors makes it really hard to debug. Native messaging has always been a bit tricky to setup because of all the different factors that affect it.

The Mozilla docs are pretty decent and I would suggest to follow the guide there and try to set it up manually.

I hope you can get it resolved!

Ah. Well, thanks for your help. If I figure it out, I’ll come back and update this, but otherwise, I think we can close the issue?
