Review by DirkVanGulik

I've used this extension for sometime and like it. However, lately I'm prompted to update KeePassXC to 2.5. Using Linux Mint 19.2 this has to be a flatpak or snap repo. Non-bueno. Have to add a script for the snap repo version as it is sandboxed. Muy mal(not sandboxing, just the other stuff).
So my mild aggravation is that I'm unable to set the update preference to never and have it stick. On the positive side it adds a nifty little four-pint lime green star to the extension icon. Kinda like it actually
I know, a bit nit-picky but I is what I is. Thanks for the wonderful extension to go with the fabulous password manager. Peace, love and Linux.

The green star is clearly a bug, otherwise the update check is actually put to "never". If you wish, you can use the official PPA in Linux Mint instead of flatpak or snap.

    I really love Keepass and have used it for years. I really wish that there was a way to link/connect it to a web browser. So far I have not found any working method to get passwords out of keepass other than copy/pasting from the program apart from on an iPhone.

    There are two ways you can get credentials out from KeePassXC: using the browser extension, or using Auto-Type. Please refer to our documention for guides: https://keepassxc.org/docs/

    "Error! Credentials cannot be saved or updated to a closed database."

    Then open it. Prompt me for the database password. Why can the DB be opened on demand to retrieve passwords, but not to save them? I should not be expected to keep my database open all the time. That is an obvious security vulnerability. So I have it configured to close after 30 seconds. I do not understand why this Addon is so hostile to on-demand database access.

    Will not work with current version of Firefox and Ubuntu 25.04. I have used this for years. Sad to see Mozilla can not keep up.

    Just ditch the Snap version of Firefox and everything works.

    Thanks for this extension!

    One remark: though firefox now honors XDG config settings in $HOME/.config/mozilla/firefox (on Linux) the extension creates a $HOME/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts. I'd like so see all config for an application on one single place only.

    The add-on doesn't work in the Flatpak browser. Otherwise, I like KeePassXC :)

    Actually there's already pull requests made for a websocket connection mode in both extension and KeePassXC. It works with Flatpak browsers. So it's coming :)

    It only has offline support. On Linux the configuration is a mess. Sometimes It doesn't talk with my desktop app. Remote support should also be added, so 1 star. I also noticed this while using it: not everything is handled within the browser. When the master password is requested, It switches to the KeepassXC desktop window which makes the experience less convenient. MasterPassword could instead be entered through a small pop-up inside the browser. This is what I would have preferred.

    The whole idea of the extension is that it talks to the desktop app. It has no direct connection to your database, and it will never ask your master password.

    Works fine on my Windows 10 Firefox, and in Firefox on my CachyOS Linux install.
