The coapp install page describes extra steps to be executed once you have downloaded the .tar.gz
package:
targz user-wide install
# tar xf net.downloadhelper.coapp-1.2.3-1_amd64.tar.gz -C ~
# ~/net.downloadhelper.coapp-1.2.3/bin/net.downloadhelper.coapp-linux-64 install --user
targz system-wide install
# sudo tar xf net.downloadhelper.coapp-1.2.3-1_amd64.tar.gz -C /usr/local
# sudo /usr/local/net.downloadhelper.coapp-1.2.3/bin/net.downloadhelper.coapp-linux-64 install --system
If you think this could be better explained, please let me know.

Hi @mi-g ,
First, let me thank you for the plugin that has served to get me some videos in the past!
Doing as mentioned, even after restarting Firefox, doesn't seem to work:
Companion application required
This operation requires an external application to be completed.
In the past, see #17 it was solved by modifying the path in the setup scripts that are not present anymore. Don't know what to do this time.
Creating a symlink ln -s /usr/local/net.downloadhelper.coapp-1.2.3/bin/net.downloadhelper.coapp-linux-64 /usr/local/bin/
doesn't result.

I have seen the following issue a couple of times, maybe you are in this case:
A user installs the coapp as a user: the coapp code goes to ~/net.downloadhelper.coapp
and the manifest file has been added to ~/.mozilla/firefox/native-messaging-hosts
. Then the user changes his mind, delete the ~/net.downloadhelper.coapp
directory and reinstall the coapp as system, which creates /opt/net.downloadhelper.coapp/
or /usr/local/net.downloadhelper.coapp/
with manifest in /usr/lib/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts
.
As a result, when Firefox tries to launch the coapp, it first looks at a user-level manifest at ~/.mozilla/firefox/native-messaging-hosts
and tries to execute the pointed binary that no longer exists. You get the error you described.
The workaround consists of removing the file ~/.mozilla/firefox/native-messaging-hosts/net.downloadhelper.coapp.json
that is no longer valid.
Can you check that ?

You got it @mi-g , although the json file was in ~/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/net.downloadhelper.coapp.json
.
It's working fine now.
Thank you very much for your support.
