From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

KeePassXC w/ FF browser add-on on Zorin OS 17.1? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hi all,

I was wondering whether anyone uses KeePassXC with the Firefox browser add-on on Zorin OS. I can't get the browser add-on to recognize the app. I spent a better part of yesterday trying to figure out a solution but just can't seem to get it to work. Any help?

probably because keepass is installed via flatpak (default way of installing things, also they're sandboxed)

As long as you don't run Gentoo or any other distro that require you to compile your own packages, you can install the Firefox from repos and you'll have the same result.

I really suggest you to use yours distro package manager to install Firefox and use KeePassXC as flatpak, cause this way you'll have your apps updated.

Your solution, despite works, you'll have to update the packages by hand

However be aware that Ubuntu force you to install Firefox Snap even if you run apt install firefox, so you'll face the same issue. For this reason I suggest you to move away from Ubuntu

What do you mean by installing FF using my distro's package manager? Zorin doesn't have their own.

[–] BaalInvoker@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 7 months ago

Zorin is Ubuntu based. It's apt, tho

But you probably have to install the ppa first.

Just follow the Mozilla steps:
