Hi Nathan,

I have added the file how-to-reproduce.zip. Just follow the instructions
in the file `0_reproduce.md` (some videos are added to show some
details).

Is it enough like that?

Title:
  Chromium (via snap) on Ubuntu 24.04: extension keepassxc-browser
  doesn't work

Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I'm am on Ubuntu 24.04. I'm using Chromium via snap with this version:

  ```sh
  $ snap list chromium
  Name      Version         Rev   Tracking       Publisher   Notes
  chromium  139.0.7258.138  3235  latest/stable  canonical✓  -
  ```

  I have installed the extension KeePassXC-Browser version 1.9.9.3 to
  connect Chromium to my KeePassXC instance 2.7.10 (and to fill HTTP
  forms automatically with my logins/passwords in KeepPassXC). But it
  doesn't work. The extension prints this message:

  ```txt
  KeePassXC-Browser has encountered an error:

  Cannot connect to KeePassXC. Check that browser integration is enabled in 
KeePassXC settings.
  ```

  But my KeePassXC settings are perfectly OK. For instance, if I run
  Chromium without snap like this:

  
  ```sh
  # To run an unboxed Chromium instance.
  /snap/chromium/current/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chrome 
--user-data-dir=/home/flaf/snap/chromium/common/chromium
  ```

  the extension KeePassXC-Browser works perfectly without any change
  (HTTP forms are well automatically filled with my logins/passwords).
  So the problem probably comes from the snap encapsulation.

  It's a well-known problem which is appeared with the snap
  encapsulation. For instance, there was exactly the same problem with
  Firefox when it was switched to snap, and it was eventually resolved.

  
  Note: there is a similar bug here 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/2095385 which 
has been set to "status=Invalid" because the term of "regression" in the 
summary field is inappropriate. Indeed, the extension has never worked since 
Chromium switched to snap. But I think it's just a misunderstanding. The person 
who created this ticket probably meant that the extension no longer works since 
Chromium switched to snap.

  Regards.
