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.

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

This is the solution that I followed mostly, but I didn't manage to make it work. I think the XDG-something is different for me. I'm new to Linux so I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong following this solution :/ Might have to read up on sockets and the terminology used a bit more...
This solution is outdated and complex.
I suggest you to have your Firefox as a native installation and you can keep KeepassXC as flatpak.
It may work out of the box
Does "native installation" mean installed from source or as it came with the OS?
Means installing via
