Do you recall seeing a popup in the browser to give it permission to access the companion app. I have a screenshot of it for the

I gave this a try, but it seems to have had no effect. I actually did try the recommended solution in that other thread of copying folders from my .mozilla folder for my Firefox install into the .librewolf folder. It had no effect either. lol |

the but I found a way to make it work using Flatseal flatpak application (or KDE flatpak application permission applet, which seems to operate the same settings). Flatseal is highly recommended if you use Flatpak so you can actually lock down all the Flatpak applications that ship with broken sandboxing options like full filesystem access or add access to custom folders in an application's sandbox like we are doing here.
in theory Flatseal and KDE flatpak app permission gui do the same thing as doing in the terminal but I don't see their overrides from commandline so I don't know where they store the settings. I think/hope any future update to the companion app can just be done manually copying the binaries into the same folder overwriting the old ones. I have done that many times in the past before using librewolf and flatpak. |

I installed librewolf through their apt repository, and CoApp with the script, and the path were different. mkdir -p $HOME/.librewolf/native-messaging-hosts
cp $HOME/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/net.downloadhelper.coapp.json $HOME/.librewolf/native-messaging-hosts/net.downloadhelper.coapp.json |

Your question
I just installed the CoApp on my Linux system, and it is working in Firefox, but not in LibreWolf. Based on the output of the installer, it looks like the registration of LibreWolf was just skipped by the installer.
LibreWolf was installed from a Flatpak. I am running a KDE Plasma environment on Debian 12.
Browser version:
OS Version:
Installation output:
Based on some discussion I found in another post here about this issue on Mac OS, I tried copying the native-messaging-hosts folder from the Firefox directory to the LibreWolf directory, but this had no effect for me.
Vdhcoapp info dump:
Hopefully it will be an easy fix, and maybe the installers can be updated to support LibreWolf in the future. Thanks!
