[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#990703: webext-browserpass: Unable to fetch and parse login fields [pinentry]

[nelson g]

Package: webext-browserpass
Version: 3.7.2-1+b3
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: ledufff at hotmail.com


Hello,
I'm currently using Xfce4,  and found this extension wasn't asking for my
passphrase at all, thus my passwords were not available, unless decrypted first
from the terminal (pinentry-ncurses I presume?)

I tried several things but the thing that worked was:
Install pinentry-qt
created ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf
added the following line to ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf: pinentry-program
/usr/bin/pinentry-qt
restarted gpg-agent with: gpg-connect-agent reloadagent /bye

The result was a dialog/application asking for the passphrase.  And the
extension working correctly after typing the correct passphrase.


Is it possible to investigate why the same can't be accomplished for both
pinentry-gnome3 and pinentry-gtk2, since I'm using Xfce4 and not LxQT or
Plasma?  Not to mention pinentry-qt is not even a dependency for this web
extension.
Is having to create gpg-agent.conf expected behavior?  if it is, can we have
documentation on this?




Sorry if this is not a bug related to this package.
Thanks.
