[iw2evk]

Hi,

i've installed oin linux lubuntu 24.04 LTS.
I've used the compressed version fronm mozilla site because the Snap version bloking the usb ports.
I've installed on /home/iw2evk/firefox/native-messaging-hosts the 2 files as you suggested in instructions
after restart i tray on https://whosmatt.github.io/uvmod/ (press patch firmware / flash directy)
At this point with Chrome a kist od usb adress appear, on firefox only a message regarding not installed extensionb , but it's not true !
In console of browser the error is :
ExtensionError: No such native application io.github.kuba2k2.webserial ExtensionUtils.sys.mjs:48:5
ExtensionError resource://gre/modules/ExtensionUtils.sys.mjs:48
startupPromise resource://gre/modules/NativeMessaging.sys.mjs:80
How can i start the webserial service ?
Thanks

This is not the correct path. It should be ".mozilla", not "firefox". Try using the script installation method that is in the README.

Make as suggested..
Error parsing native manifest /home/iw2evk/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/io.github.kuba2k2.webserial.json: JSON.parse: unexpected end of data at line 3 column 1 of the JSON data NativeManifests.sys.mjs:98
_tryPath resource://gre/modules/NativeManifests.sys.mjs:98
AsyncFunctionThrow self-hosted:811

My io.github.kuba2k2.webserial.json

{
"name": "io.github.kuba2k2.webserial",
"description": "WebSerial for Firefox",
"path": "/home/iw2evk/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/firefox-webserial",
"type": "stdio",
"allowed_extensions": ["webserial@kuba2k2.github.io"]
}

My path :
/home/iw2evk/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts

Nothing to do .

Did you remember to chmod +x firefox-webserial to make it executable? I just installed on 24.01.1 LTS and I missed that. :)
