After executing all commands it still says setup incomplete (mac)

[cwesterink]

Encountered setup problem (mac M1)

[null-dev]

I just released a new version of the extension that should hopefully fix this issue. Can you try updating to it? Also make sure to update the additional software when asked.

I'm seeing the same issue on mac with the latest version of extension and connector (installed today 14/7/2021).

firefox-profile-switcher-connector v0.0.8
extension v1.1.5 (updated 14/7/2021)

[cwesterink]

I removed the addon and followed the installation instructions. Instead of just updating it.
It works for me now.

Thank You

@caseykramer Can you post what happens when you run each of the following commands?

• cat ~"/Library/Application Support/Mozilla/NativeMessagingHosts/ax.nd.profile_switcher_ff.json"
• find /usr/local/Cellar/firefox-profile-switcher-connector
• echo | ff-pswitch-connector
• brew config

I'm not @caseykramer but I did just try running the installation by following the instructions and the extension is still saying incomplete setup. I've also restarted Firefox. The output of the above commands are below and it seems Xcode isn't being installed. Is this something I need to do separately?

Thank you!

@billybullock Thanks for the info, unfortunately everything looks fine and I still have no idea why the extension isn't running on Macs. Can you try running the command in this comment? null-dev/firefox-profile-switcher-connector#5 (comment)

[billybullock]

@null-dev Here is the output from the command.

BB-Work-MacBook-Air:~ billy$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/firefox-profile-switcher-connector/0.0.8/ax.nd.profile_switcher_ff.json /Library/Application Support/Mozilla/NativeMessagingHosts/ax.nd.profile_switcher_ff.json

Got it working my copying "/usr/local/Cellar/firefox-profile-switcher-connector/0.0.8/ax.nd.profile_switcher_ff.json" to "/Library/Application Support/Mozilla/NativeMessagingHosts/" where this file was missing. Restarted Firefox and it's now working. Many thanks for your replies and work on this extension!

[null-dev]

@billybullock Whoops yeah I forgot some quotes in my command, nice job figuring it out! Since it seems to work I'm going to close this issue now. Just to repeat it for others, running the following command seems to solve the issue:

sudo mkdir -p "/Library/Application Support/Mozilla/NativeMessagingHosts"
sudo ln -sf /usr/local/Cellar/firefox-profile-switcher-connector/0.0.8/ax.nd.profile_switcher_ff.json "/Library/Application Support/Mozilla/NativeMessagingHosts/ax.nd.profile_switcher_ff.json"
