Troubles Librewolf on Fedora

[xdettlaff]

Hello, plz help to use it with librewolf on fedora:

I created
└[$]> mkdir -p $HOME/.local/share/firefoxpwa/runtime/

└[$]> ln librewolf firefox
ln: there is no 'librewolf': No file or directory

so i do
└[$]> ln -s /usr/share/librewolf/librewolf firefox

then i downloaded librewolf tar

Extract downloaded file and copy content (without "root" directory) of librewolf-VERSION\LibreWolf\ to %APPDATA%\FirefoxPWA\runtime.

i dont see a "root" here, wt you a talking about?
so i just copy it like that

but it doesnt work...

ln: there is no 'librewolf': No file or directory

You should run that after you've extracted LibreWolf to the $HOME/.local/share/firefoxpwa/runtime/ directory.

i dont see a "root" here, wt you a talking about?

I meant the root directory of the archive, not the directory actually named "root". I see that this is confusing and will improve the wording in the future.

so i just copy it like that

This seems fine, now you should just run that ln from before (from inside that directory):

ln librewolf firefox

and i have installed

but i still have this error

Are you also using LibreWolf as a main browser? Then, you also have to run these two commands so LibreWolf finds native app manifests installed for normal Firefox:

ln -s ~/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts ~/.librewolf/native-messaging-hosts
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts /usr/lib/librewolf/native-messaging-hosts

Alternatively, you can copy /usr/lib/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/firefoxpwa.json to /usr/lib/librewolf/native-messaging-hosts/firefoxpwa.json?

└[$]> ln -s ~/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts ~/.librewolf/native-messaging-hosts
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/home/def/.librewolf/native-messaging-hosts': File exists

└[$]> sudo ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts /usr/lib/librewolf/native-messaging-hosts
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/lib/librewolf/native-messaging-hosts': No such file or directory

I'm sorry if I'm stupid :((((

sorry, i dont understand what u mean, can you give me some commands? do i need to move file... or create new.... im not a firefox developer :(

i had installed firefox (remove it now), so this file /usr/lib/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/firefoxpwa.json
already exists in my system

[filips123]

Copy /usr/lib/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/firefoxpwa.json into ~/.librewolf/native-messaging-hosts:

mkdir -p ~/.librewolf/native-messaging-hosts # In case it does not already exist
cp /usr/lib/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/firefoxpwa.json ~/.librewolf/native-messaging-hosts/

[xdettlaff]

Copy /usr/lib/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/firefoxpwa.json into ~/.librewolf/native-messaging-hosts:

mkdir -p ~/.librewolf/native-messaging-hosts # In case it does not already exist
cp /usr/lib/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/firefoxpwa.json ~/.librewolf/native-messaging-hosts/

└[$]> mkdir -p ~/.librewolf/native-messaging-hosts # In case it does not already exist
mkdir: The directory "/home/def/.librewolf/native-messaging-hosts" cannot be created: File exists

└[$]> cp /usr/lib/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/firefoxpwa.json ~/.librewolf/native-messaging-hosts/
cp: Cannot create normal file '/home/def/.librewolf/native-messaging-hosts/': This is not the directory

└[$]> cp /usr/lib/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/firefoxpwa.json ~/.librewolf/native-messaging-hosts/firefoxpwa.json 
cp: Cannot create normal file '/home/def/.librewolf/native-messaging-hosts/firefoxpwa.json': No such file or directory

/native-messaging-hosts" cannot be created: File exists - this is file, soo.... your commands didnt work

[filips123]

You can try to remove file ~/.librewolf/native-messaging-hosts and run the above commands again.
