[Solved] Passff-host with firefox

Help
1

Hi all,

I’m using unstable channel mainly as NixOS is my second OS after Arch. I’m in the process of learning Nix but i’m come from Unix, NetBSD, and GNU/Linux. Declarative OS are new to me. NixOS seem really great and may come my main OS soon.

I’ve added this to my configuration.nix:

  programs.firefox = {
    enable = true;
    nativeMessagingHosts.packages = [ pkgs.passff-host ];
  };

No error when rebuilding (nixos-rebuild switch) but I can’t use passff in Firefox as it can’t find passff-host.
For now it’s the only thing I need that i can’t understand why it do not work :wink:

It works for me - does it create a /run/current-system/sw/lib/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/passff.json?

Yes, this file is created. Tried a reboot, but same problem.
I’ll try with a fresh firefox profile tomorrow.
Thanks for your help.

My bad! There’s and old (manual install?) of passff-host in my ~/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts with passff.json and passff.py.
Now it work perfectly, the Nix way :slight_smile:
