I'm slowly piece mealing my way to Waterfox this weekend. One issue I've had is getting KeepassXC working.

I suspect this is more of a flatpak thing than a Waterfox thing. I'm not familiar with flatpak enough to know where I need to go to get it to work. If you have suggestions, let me know.

Right now I'm copying and pasting.

I would have thought KeepassXC works like other password managers with a network socket. Huh, I'll have to poke around.

I have yet to try the KeepassXC extension on Windows and I'm tempted to install Waterfox directly on my Linux device via tar file to see if that fixes things.

Edit: Keepass official documentation states that flatpaks are not support at all. Installed Waterfox via it's tar file and works as expected after following the instructions here.

TL;DR: within KeepassXC, go to Tools > Settings. Then go down to "Browser Integration". Select the "Advanced" tab and set the config location to ~/.waterfox/native-messaging-hosts.
