cannot get veriification of coapp

[marc206]

Had the Firefox extension Video DownloadHelper running fine and it just stopped working. Did a remove and reinstall of both Download helper and Coapp but on each occasion it fails to verify the existence of the coapp. I even did a fresh install of Firefox and a flush of all residual files before reinstall. The recheck button does nothing

And I have verified the files are in place

Any help please

Did you install the CoApp with the .pkg or the .dmg ?

[marc206]

I have tried both options. The final install as per screenshot is by .dmg

When using the .dmg, did you execute the required additional commands ?

[marc206]

If you refer to the forcing Mac OS to run the app, then yes i have forced it to run. If there is something else then it is not clear.

Can you check the content of the file /Library/Application Support/Mozilla/NativeMessagingHosts/net.downloadhelper.coapp.json or, if you install the app in user mode, ~/Library/Application Support/Mozilla/NativeMessagingHosts/net.downloadhelper.coapp.json ?
Referring to this documentation.

Sry forgot to say i don't have file locations:-
/Library/Application Support/Mozilla/ManagedStorage/.json
/Library/Application Support/Mozilla/PKCS11Modules/.json

And i confirm i am running Mozilla version 57 on a fresh install today

Ok, i can see that problem on Mac. I'm on it.

I found and fixed the problem. Release 1.0.10 of the companion app is available directly from github in the release page.
You may need to restart the add-on from the settings (More > Restart add-on) in order to reset a possible 1.0.9 version still running.
