Screenshot of error given by extension.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open default browser Firefox on Ubuntu 23.04 (Snap)
2. Install plasma-browser-integration extension from Mozilla's add-ons store
3. Open the extension

OBSERVED RESULT
“Failed to connect to the native host
“Make sure the ‘plasma-browser-integration’ package is installed correctly and that you are running Plasma 5.13 or later.”

EXPECTED RESULT
It should connect as I have both plasma-browser-integration installed (Ubuntu 23.04) and am running Plasma 5.27.4

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Ubuntu 23.04, Linux 6.2.0-23-generic (64-bit)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.104.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8
Firefox: 114.0.1-1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Likely due to Ubuntu installing Firefox as a snap, in which case, is there a way to get around this?

Thank you!

Is the plasma-browser-integration package from Ubuntu installed? You can check using 'apt list plasma-browser-integration'

Snap is not supported.

Oh, I see. Snap is not supported. Sorry!

Are there plans to support it in the future?
