Need help for plasma browser integration

[Neo00001]

I have installed plasma integration extension for firefox(nightly) & it does work if firefox ain't firejailed. So is there a way to make it work inside firejail? Inside firejail it's showing "failed to connect to native host".

[rusty-snake]

firejail/etc/firefox-common.profile

Lines 37 to 39 in 4ed69ed

	# nodbus breaks various desktop integration features
	# among other things global menus, Gnome connector, KDE connect and power management on KDE Plasma
	nodbus

Try adding ignore nodbus to firefox.local.

It's still showing the same message. btw, I have private etc enabled in firefox-common.profile
can that be the reason?

[rusty-snake]

Possible, but I think that rather one more path needs to be whitelisted.

[Neo00001]

which one?

[rusty-snake]

Thats the big question. 🙄

[Neo00001]

I have disabled private-etc, but the problem persists.

[rusty-snake]

Have you enabled private-bin?

[Neo00001]

yea in firefox profile.

[Neo00001]

done... just had to add plasma-browser-integration-host in private-bin

Thanks

Try adding private-bin plasma-browser-integration-host to firefox.local.

[Neo00001]

can I ask another question which is not related with this issue or should I open a new one?

[rusty-snake]

If an other user has the same question it's easy to find it in a new issue.

[Neo00001]

ok

[rusty-snake]

@Neo00001

nodbus
private-bin plasma-browser-integration-host

With it works, right?

[Neo00001]

ignore nodbus & private-bin plasma-browser-integration-host

with xdg-dbus-proxy having some problem. basic media control works but progress of downloads in notification are doesn't work properly.
with

dbus-user filter
dbus-user.own org.mozilla.firefox.*
dbus-user.own org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.firefox.*
dbus-user.talk org.freedesktop.Notifications
ignore dbus-user none

it shows pic1. so I added dbus-user.talk org.kde.JobViewServer & now it shows pic2 along with pic1. Desired is only pic2.

If I use only ignore dbus-user none without any dbus-user filter it works as intended. So most likely some other portals must have to be allowed. Any help or hint will be appreciated.

btw,is there any way to trace dbus call or trace/log blocked dbus call? hope it makes sense

You can inspect D-Bus names with d-feet or qdbus-viewer or in /usr/share/dbus-1/services/*. To trace/monitor D-Bus calls in the sandbox you can use firejail --log-dbus but this works only for dbus-user filter. Or you can monitor you session-bus with tools such as dbus-monitor, bustle or busctl monitor, However monitoring the session-bus creates a lot of spam which is not form the sandbox. I plan to write a script which catches all the D-Bus traffic of a program using dbus-daemon and dbus-monitor, but I do not have that time ATM. If the program has a flatpak, you can also look at it's permissions.

ok... I will look into these later.

[Neo00001]

ok. here what worked for me.

dbus-user.talk org.kde.JobViewServer
dbus-user.talk org.kde.kuiserver

thanks for the help.

[rusty-snake]

So your dbus-policy for firefox looks like this.

dbus-user filter
dbus-user.own org.mozilla.firefox.*
dbus-user.own org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.firefox.*
dbus-user.talk org.freedesktop.Notifications
dbus-user.talk org.kde.JobViewServer
dbus-user.talk org.kde.kuiserver
ignore dbus-user none

Works plasma browser integration w/o org.freedesktop.Notifications? (I want to add a note to firefox.profile.)

plasma browser integration works without org.freedesktop.Notifications & regarding proper functioning of plasma browser integration you don't need

dbus-user.own org.mozilla.firefox.*
dbus-user.own org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.firefox.*

I'm using this

dbus-user filter
dbus-user.own org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.plasma-browser-integration
dbus-user.talk org.kde.JobViewServer
dbus-user.talk org.kde.kuiserver
ignore dbus-user none

if instead of dbus-user.own org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.plasma-browser-integration I use

dbus-user.own org.mozilla.firefox.*
dbus-user.own org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.firefox.*

then I can pause & resume media from system tray but can't get the thumbnail & the progress bar.

OS: Arch(KDE plasma) Kernel: 5.9.1 Plasma ver: 5.20.2 firejail ver:0.9.64
