alfred-firefox's Issues

Will it also be developed for windows?

Firefox-esr

Hello,
I can't run the Firefox extension in Firefox-esr, because extension require Firefox 70+ and esr is 68. Could you adapt extension to Firefox-esr?
Thanks.

Search by bookmark label?

I label my most used bookmarks to quick launch them from the firefox address bar, ex: * mylabel

Is it possible for this integration to search by those labels? Having those accessible via quick launch with Alfred would be invaluable.

I am on m1, could it be the case? Does the extension supports m1?

Alfred 5

After upgrading to Alfred 5 the plugin does not work anymore.
Tried reinstalling and resetting up.

Dropbox v166 also have some issues with Alfred configuration.

Any ideas? Have to switch back to Safari 🤪

Alfred 4.2.1; Firefox Assistant 0.2.1; Firefox 83.0; Alfred Integration 1.1.2; Catalina 10.15.7

I have two Macs with exactly the above setup;
On one, I installed the Alfred Firefox Integration without trouble, on the second I now cannot get it to work:

If I run the server.sh script from a terminal, it starts and even gets the searches from Alfred, but times out as it does not connect to Firefox.
And the Firefox extension always insists it is "disconnected".
Also, ffass workflow:register finishes successfully.

Removing and reinstalling the workflow as well as restarting the machine also did not help.
Any ideas what I can try next?

Frequently losing workflow functionality

I'm experiencing a recurring issue whereby the workflow suddenly "breaks":

Gives me a timeout when I try to invoke the workflow in FF via my defined shortcut, but sometimes just says "loading" indefinitely.
When I try to re-register the the workflow via 'ffass > Register...' it just says "loading" indefintely.

My fix thus far has been a delete & reinstall of the workflow.

Thanks for the useful workflow, hope this helps

Switching to open tabs is extremely slow on M1 Mac mini

I use the alfred-firefox on an Intel MacBook Pro without any issues. However, on a new M1 Mac mini, the tab command functions incredibly slowly, and performs the action several minutes after submitting it. The other actions (bookmarks, history, etc.) behave instantly as expected - only switching to open tabs takes a very long time.

I already attempted to reinstall alfred-firefox and the Firefox Integration add-on, and also in a new Firefox profile. It's reproducible on both release and beta versions of Firefox (versions 85 and 86). macOS 11.2.1

Happy to share any logs or other information to help diagnose.

Add instructions for updating workflow and extension

Related to #4

Add ability to call External Triggers from extension?

Are there any use cases for calling the workflow—or third-party workflows—from the extension?

It's possible to use one keyword to rule them all! Tabs, History, Bookmarks

Hi,

Is this within Alfred workflow capability, to query open tabs, history, and bookmarks, just with one single keyword (perhaps fx or ff), and then use % to specify scope in open tabs, * for bookmarks specifically etc., just as Awesome Bar does?

No such file or directory when running 'ffass > Install Firefox Extension'

I tried reinstalling the workflow and the firefox extension but that did not fix it.

Unable to open bookmark that have `ext+container:name=NAME&url=https://example.com`

There is a neat little FF feature to allows the user to open a bookmark directly in a given container.
Using ext+container:name=THE_CONTAINER_NAME&url=https://example.com but it breaks when using this workflow.

Here is the log:

Add connection polling to extension

Extension should also check whether it's actually connected to the workflow.

Alternatively, add "reconnect" button to extension or, at least, instructions on how to force the extension to reconnect (disable and then re-enable it).

This is a requirement for #2 to work smoothly: without it, starting a new Firefox will replace the already-running browser's socket, but the extension will never know and will still think it's connected (the native client is still running; it's just not what the workflow is talking to).

ERROR: Firefox Assistant[Script Filter] JSON error: JSON text did not start with array or object and option to allow fragments not set.

Workflow is working just fine on intel mac. Try to run this workflow on an m1 and getting this error message.

Blocked by malware protection on macOS Catalina

Thank you for your work, it looks very promising!

When running a search, I get the following error after typing the first letter after bm (or any other keyword):

Running macOS Catalina 10.15.2 (19C57) with v0.1.0 of the Firefox Assistant

developer cannot be verified

is there anyway to fix this?

Sort tab by MRU

Kind of how it works in an IDE.
Is that possible? Would have been nice :)

Add-in shows status disconnected after upgrade to Firefox ESR 78.4.0-esr

I had the add-in for Firefox and the Alfred Workflow working just fine but now I cannot get the add-in to connect to the workflow. I have removed the add-in and then added it back via the workflow and then used the Register Workflow with browser but I when I attempt to activate the add-in, it still shows that status of disconnected. I have tried closing Firefox after removing the add-in and then restarting it before I re-install the add-in. I still get disconnected.

Document architecture

Add description of how the workflow and extension work to docs.

Consider URL for filtering

It appears that URL is not considered when filtering tabs. I'm using a productivity app (ClickUp) that does not have the app name in the <title>, and thus it makes it difficult to search for it.

It'd be ideal if URL was searchable too.

Thanks!

"Query too short" error recurring with history search

Hey all--This is a support request, I'm pretty sure, and not something that is wrong with the workflow/extension. Which is, by the way, absolutely incredible and a huge benefit to my daily work. So, thank you for that!

The issue: I had FF history working great for probably 6 mos. Maybe a month ago, it suddenly began telling me, "Query too short, Please enter at least 3 characters," no matter how long my search string was. Figuring it was a result of some Alfred update I had unthinkingly installed, I removed and re-installed both the workflow and the FF extension. History was back and working fine, but only for a few days. Soon, the "Query too short" error recurred. Any idea how I can debug/fix this? Thank you for any pointers!

Edit: I've found that simply disabling and immediately re-enabling the extension consistently fixes this problem for me. (It recurs every 2-3 months, but with a fix this simple that's no big deal.)

No Connection to Browser - dial unix /tmp/alfred-firefox.501.sock: connect: no such file or directory

OSX 10.15.7 | Alfred 4.2.1 | Firefox 82.0.3
Workflow installed and Firefox plugin installed

When I type FFAS to Alfred and hit enter the error No Connection to Browser - dial unix /tmp/alfred-firefox.501.sock: connect: no such file or directory comes up. Registering and reinstalling doesn't help.

If I run env -i server.shin Terminal, following comes up:

PID 1700 is ps aux:

There was same kind of problems in this conversation: https://www.alfredforum.com/topic/14284-firefox-assistant/#comments anything found from there didn't help.

When installing the extention a second time it fails.

I reinstalled the extension in Alfred.

The plugin was pointing to an incorrect directory (looks like a cache issue)

So I fixed it by renaming the following back:

user.workflow.40155274-8A51-4D8D-A834-D9683337394F

Was previously user.workflow.<Invalid path>

Open bookmark or switch if open

Many times I have multiple tabs with the same page opened. With many tabs open it's easier to open a new tab than search for an existing one.

It would be nice if there was an option to open a bookmark in a new tab, unless it's already open. In that case switch to it.
What do you think?

No longer connecting after newest FF update. Downgrade required?

FF 104.0.2
Prior was 103.0.2 and it worked fine. Might need to downgrade at this point, this extension is the sauce. Period.

Simply does not connect to extension, I've rechecked the preferences location on my computer (not on a cloud), as well as reinstalled workflow/Alfred.

Issue ONLY came up after the FF update.

Prior issue someone had was similar error message that I received. He resolved it by checking preferences was local and not cloud. Unfortunately that's not what's causing the issue for me.

Workflow is up to date and registered with FF.

Search tabs by url

Great plugin, thanks for creating it !

I see that tab search is limited to the window title. I often want to search tabs by URL.

Is there any easy way to add url filtering/searching of tabs ?

Support for LibreWolf?

Tried the extension on LibreWolf with no luck.

Not sure what to change myself, but would it be possible to guide how to add support?
LibreWolf is a soft fork of Firefox for privacy.

Is it possible to specify to change browser from Firefox to Firefox Nightly

I setup the workflow and it runs well. Only issue that on activation it does nothing as I don't have Firefox installed but instead use Firefox Nightly.

I couldn't find in settings if it's possible to change the app. I think it would be a nice feature as not everyone uses default Firefox.

Thank you.

"alfred-firefox" cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.

I am getting this issue when I install the extension. Is there an executable somewhere I can right click to allow my OS to trust the program?

Allow us to search bookmarks without the shortcut

I find it annoying that before we could simply type "asana" but now we have to type "bm asana". Would be nice to change this :-)

Document the requirement of Alfred 4+

There's not really any information in the readme that states the workflow only supports Alfred version 4+ (other than if you read one of the screenshots of the browser extension).

It would just save people the time of downloading the workflow and the extension, only to realise they can't actually use it.

filter tabs filter not 100 % functional

the Filter Tabs script does not work fully. Everything works except the browser doesn't go to the page selected. In other words, the tab names come up, you can select, but the page does not change and go there. This works on one of my computers (macbook pro 2013) but not on a mac mini m1. The scripts for bookmarks and history work and the results can be chosen and the page goes there but not with open tabs.

Not working with Firefox developer edition.

Tried it numerous times on Macos Big Sur. Unfortunately, it did not connect to the extension and gives error. Please see the screenshot.

Include parent folder name in bookmark search

Just an idea.
When I used Alfred with Safari bookmarks I quite enjoyed being able to search the folder name and then get a list all the bookmarks inside (along with any bookmark from anywhere which matched the query). Each returned entry would have small text of the bookmark folder to make it clear when browsing through results.

Many of us probably arrange bookmarks by topics so it's a useful feature when you're unsure of the exact thing you're looking for (i.e maybe i'll have a bunch of websites in a "news" folder and it would be nice to scroll through them to remind me of what's there).

Add version check to workflow and extension

Add mutual compatibility check to workflow and extension.

Replace ping command with version command
Add "minimum compatible extension version" to workflow
Add "minimum compatible workflow version" to extension
Show "(extension|workflow) update required" error in workflow
Show "(extension|workflow) update required" error in extension

Keep "legacy" feature in extension longer to ensure maximum compatibility.

add bookmark search by tag

I'm a heavy user of firefox bm tags

It's an awesome feature that helps group bookmarks.
Currently, firefox allows searching for a bm by tag in its search bar by starting the query with an asterisk
* banana
will search for all bookmarks tagged with a banana tag.

I'll be more than happy to help to add this functionality to your awesome workflow.
Given some instructions. I've tried to figure it for myself but it seems there are many things going on in there
a client that communicates with a local service over gRPC which communicates with a firefox extension process via STDIN/STOUT.
lots of fun :)

gr8 work.

cheers.

p.s
adding favicons of bookmarks to the alfred output will be awesome.

in addition.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Work_with_the_Bookmarks_API
I can't find anything related to bookmarks in the mozila extensions API docs....

The only thing ive managed to do in order to find bookmarks by tag is this ugly bash script

BOOKMARKS="/Users/domrevigor/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/current.profile/bookmarks.html"

lines=($(egrep -no 'TAGS="[^"]+' "${BOOKMARKS}"  | grep $1 | cut -d ":" -f1))

links=($(for i in ${lines[@]}; do sed -n ${i}p "${BOOKMARKS}" ;done | egrep -o 'HREF="[^"]*' | cut -d '"' -f2))

tags=($(for i in ${lines[@]}; do sed -n ${i}p "${BOOKMARKS}" ;done | egrep -o 'TAGS="[^"]*' | cut -d '"' -f2))

IFS=$(echo -en "\n\b")
titles=($(for i in ${lines[@]}; do sed -n ${i}p "${BOOKMARKS}" ;done | egrep -o '.*' | egrep -o ">[^<]+" | cut -d '>' -f2))

for i in `seq ${#lines}`;do /usr/local/bin/jq -n "{\"title\":\"${titles[$i]}\","arg":\"${links[$i]}\",\"subtitle\":\"${tags[$i]}\",\"id\":\"${titles[$i]}\"}"; done | /usr/local/bin/jq -s '{"items":map(.)}'

which just greps over bookmarks.html file.
however, this file is updated only after browser restart, which sucks.

FR: option to open in new window

hi, I've used the workflows history search function very often which was very useful for multi device use.

To better compliment me and those who like to manage single tabs per Firefox window, is it possible to configure the history search script to launch the selected item in a new window instead of opening a new tab/ replacing the current active tab?

Calling the executable directly, not from the workflow

I created a copy of the server.sh file that runs the executable directly.

I'm getting results back in the terminal, but there are lots of log messages, like:

>  ./run.sh tab-info
01:06:29 ----- Firefox Assistant/0.2.2 (AwGo/0.27.1) ------
01:06:29 loaded URL action "Open in Default Application" from .....

{"alfredworkflow":{"variables":{"FF_INDEX":"1","FF_TAB":"2","FF_TITLE":"New Issue ......
01:19:10 ------------------- 4.672601ms -------------------

Is there a way to get just the JSON response back, without the extra log messages?
I tried setting the alfred_debug variable to 0, don't know if it's related

Thanks

Firefox not switching to anything, even though connections seems to be working

If I pull up the list of tabs, it does display correctly, but when I select one, the focus moves to firefox, but the tab switch is not performed. The extension does say "connected" and everything else does seem to be working, just not going to any particular page on firefox.
