Host Chromium won't show in Junction flatpak about junction HOT 5 CLOSED

This is also reproducible with Firefox, in which it will only be listed if it's installed as a Flatpak. If installed on the host, it won't appear in Junction's selection menu.

System:

• Arch (rolling)
• flatpak 1.12.2

Browsers:

• Firefox Developer Edition (pacman/arch repos) 94.0b7-1
• Firefox (pacman/arch repos) 93.0-1

Only Firefox won't show up or both Firefox and Firefox Developer Edition ?

Could you share the .desktop files?

/usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop and /usr/share/applications/firefox-developer-edition.desktop

Do you have Firefox / Firefox Developer Edition installed as flatpaks as well?

Junction de-duplicates apps if they have the same id - that would be the cause of your issue.

Nevermind - I found the problem with Firefox / Firefox Develper Edition on Arch. Exec points to /usr/lib/firefox/firefox which isn't available in the sandbox.

$ cat /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Firefox
...
Exec=/usr/lib/firefox/firefox %u
...

$ cat /usr/bin/firefox
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/lib/firefox/firefox "$@"

Fixed in Junction 1.1.0 - should be available on flathub shortly.
