Describe the bug
I first filed this bug with the KeePassXC-Browser people (here), and after a longish hunt for the cause I ended up with AIL seeming to be the culprit.
The issue: as long as AIL is installed, KeePassXC-Browser can only connect to KeePassXC if Firefox is launched AFTER KeePassXC. If Firefox is already running and I launch KeePassXC, no connection can be established.
This can be worked around by restarting Firefox with KeePaxxXC staying open. But that's quite inconvenient and sometimes not possible. The even more intrusive workaround is to uninstall AIL.
Expected behavior
I would expect the KeePassXC to work no matter which application is launched first, Firefox or KeePassXC. AIL should not affect this.
Steps to reproduce the issue
- with AIL installed, launch Firefox
- launch KeePassXC
- click on KeePaxxXC-Browser extension -> does not work

So you're saying this is working as expected with that same AppImage but with AppImageLauncher uninstalled?
Yes, exactly. I have since switched to the flatpak of KeePassXC because I could not get it to work.
