A lot of work and very little reward when using this. Just stick with built-in manager, itz much better.
as the developer himself says: "beta". not working here on Arch-Linux. First install is total FAIL. .py file gets truncated during install. tested in ff 59 and ff ESR. both are total FAIL. there should be more info how to debug this simple thing and working examples given, e.g. on which site it even works and where to put the weird stuff with the < and > or whatever. Has some potential though, since both KwalletCLI and GNOME-keyring both are rendered obsolete crap now in current FF v.58 so passFF could step into the fray.
---- hours later ----
OK, I got it to "work" after doing everything manually. I was almost done with programming my own webextension. The py app (called "native" thingy or whatever) install failed 100%
I had to correct the path in the JSON file . Then from add-on menu choose "debug passff" web-extension, see if debugger console shows errors. if need be set breakpoint with CTRL-B , a hidden function.
but even if it "works" - such as "Goto, Fill and Submit" works for website https://identity.kde.org/index.php?r=site/login - the normal ffox passwd manager is much more convenient. you have to enter each passwd manually into the addon, even type the passwd TWO times. what an ordeal. its easier to enter passwd everytime manually than to use this "tool". very, very beta. needs better explanation.
Maybe I'm gonna mod and fork this thing so it becomes useable. In those 4 hours I wasted on this thing, I could have typed thousands of bloody passwords.

- Rated 1 out of 5by LTECHer, 9 months agoIt works only with 2 formats, none of them work with password-store's ability to copy a line number of a entry.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Grave, 2 years agoDoesn't work. Even with the host app, pass working, double checked the paths and config. "Connection to the host app failed or returned an unexpected result!"
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13775334, 2 years agoWorks really well. Thanks a lot for this great extension. Makes it so much easier to use pass.
- Rated 5 out of 5by ipoac, 2 years agoGreat extension that makes using the 'pass' password manager a bit less nerdy ;)
Takes a bit of effort to set up, but totally worth it. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17264653, 2 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by JasonM23, 2 years agoWorks great. Love it. - UPDATE: 2024
I switched from MacOS to Windows 11 in 2024 and wanted to keep using PassFF. It didn't work out the box for me, so I wrote a little guide codefodder.github.io/jasonm23/c2c3d96512ddac336ffa878a0d38d712 hope it helps someone else too. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17472209, 2 years ago

Big thank to developer!!! - Rated 5 out of 5by Peyman, 5 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by krims0n32, 5 years agoWorks perfectly. Only quirk I have is that the popup is as wide as the username input box, which in my case is a tad too small (I have password entries with 3 or 4 directories).
