Keepassxc: On tor browser does not seem to work

[xzj8b3]

On Tor, the browser does not seem to work and does not connect to the database.

[xzj8b3]

KeePassXC-Browser versione: 1.5.3

[xzj8b3]

The key exchange failed.

[xzj8b3]

Cannot connect to KeePassXC. Check that browser integration is enabled in KeePassXC settings.

@xzj8b3 When you are making a new issue, there's some text ready for you to fill. Now you just deleted all the extra info that could have been helpful, for example your operating system and KeePassXC version.

We need that info.

however with tor browser does not go

[varjolintu]

We are not going to do anything about this issue until you provide us some more information.

You can check for the needed. json file from these paths:
Windows: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Mozilla\\NativeMessagingHosts\\org.keepassxc.keepassxc_browser
macOS: /Library/Application Support/TorBrowser-Data/Browser/Mozilla/NativeMessagingHosts"
Linux: /.tor-browser/app/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Browser/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts

Torbrowser-launcher is used on Fedora, but I don't think it changes anything.

[varjolintu]

Is there /usr/bin/keepassxc-proxy file? I'm not sure how the Tor Browser is bundled with Fedora.

Yes, there is.

Hi,
I can't make tor browser connect to KeepassXC either, on Fedora as well (Fedora 30). Connexion works on Firefox with the same native-messaging-hosts in ~/.mozilla instead of ~/.tor-browser/app/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Browser

My KeepassXC version is 2.5.1.

My org.keepassxc.keepassxc_browser.json:
"allowed_extensions": [
"[email protected]"
],
"description": "KeePassXC integration with native messaging support",
"name": "org.keepassxc.keepassxc_browser",
"path": "/usr/bin/keepassxc-proxy",
"type": "stdio"
}

about:debuggin log:
Error 5: Cannot connect to KeePassXC. Check that browser integration is enabled in KeePassXC settings.

Tor browser integration is selected in KeePassXC preferences

We need that info.

keepassxc-2.5.1-1.fc31.src.rpm
Fedora 31 x86-64

does not work

[varjolintu]

Used some strace magic to see where the issue is. For this, I used the official Tor Browser package https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/9.0.1/tor-browser-linux64-9.0.1_en-US.tar.xz

Starting that seems to look at only these two locations:

• /home/varjolintu/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Browser/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/org.keepassxc.keepassxc_browser.json
• /usr/lib/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/org.keepassxc.keepassxc_browser.json

For a workaround, copy the script file under .mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/ to one of those directories. Seems like at some point Tor Browser has stopped to look under the user's configuration paths, and uses its own instead, like a portable application.

Yes but correct it, I do not care Tor Browser that I do not have between repositories .... Torbrowser-launcer on fedora and other distributions is updated regularly and those who have installed it already has a configuration on that browser!!!!!!

If every project is so poor I'll go back to lastpass or others!!!!

[varjolintu]

Well, at this point it's hard to correct because if everyone has a different location for the configuration files, we must first implement a way to use a Custom Browser in the Browser Integration settings.

I'm not sure what you meant, but I guess Torbrowser-launcher uses the user's configuration paths normally.

[varjolintu]

I'll install Fedora 31 and try to find out where the problem is.

Thank you better

[varjolintu]

Installed a fresh Fedora 31 with Torbrowser-launcher, and it seems it's trying to load the needed. json file from the following path: /home/varjolintu/.local/share/torbrowser/tbb/x86_64/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Browser/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/org.keepassxc.keepassxc_browser.json. So if you manually copy the script to that location, I suppose everything should work.

Of course this makes fixing this much harder, because not everyone uses Torbrowser-launcher, plus there's a localization string in the path.

Hurray! Thanks varjolintu. I copied native-messaging-hosts in /Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Browser/.mozilla and I get a successful connection.
May I suggest that you add an advice about that in KeepassXC documentation? Even if tor browser install path may differ between different distribs, it is easy to find the .mozilla folder.

[varjolintu]

@lotth I can add that to the troubleshooting wiki for now.
