Firefox entensions cannot be added due to notification pop-up not shown

[prog-amateur2]

Hello, I am on webapp-manager version 1.1.5 and Firefox 94.

When I try to install web extension in Firefox (following the README instructions), I click install then the loading animation takes forever to install the web app.

This is due to the fact that, normally, I should click on a notification pop-up to allow permission to install the web extension, however this notification pop-up does not appear on the screen when I use webapp-manager.

Could you please tell me if version 1.1.6 does fix this issue, or in the case it doesn't fix it, could you please check this problem ?

Thank you very much for your kind help.

Which method did you use?

This is due to the fact that, normally, I should click on a notification pop-up to allow permission to install the web extension, however this notification pop-up does not appear on the screen when I use webapp-manager.

Have you turned on the Navigation bar?

Which method did you use?

Thank you for your help. Please find below the procedure I follow :

1. Open a web-app
2. Click on Alt
3. Select Bookmarks > Addons
4. Fill the field with ublock origin (for instance)
5. Click on Add to Firefox
6. Admire the infinite loop (this is where the notification pop-up for permission shall appear)

Have you turned on the Navigation bar?

No, I didn't. Please find the result of my test :

1. With Navigation bar turned on the pop-up appears and I can install the extension
2. With Navigation bar turned off the pop-up does not appears and I can't install the extension

However, before version 1.1.5, I could install Addons extensions without any issue. As of today, I still can install addons with web-apps that have been made before version 1.1.5, so to me, I don't think it is a missing feature, but more like a broken feature.

Thank you for your feedback.

This issue affects me too. Is it possible to turn on navbar after creating the webapp? Addons can only be installed if the navbar is enabled. Maybe add a function to the edit app screen to turn on/off navbar by copying the correct userChrome.css?

I was able to work around this issue by editing the profiles userchrome.css changing visibility: collapse to visibility: shown so the navbar is enabled, installing the extension, and changing visibility back to collapse
