[HOW TO] Run Firefox and KeePassXC in a flatpak and get the KeePassXC-Browser add-on to work

BTW there is an open PR at the flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal site to allow such a communication by default.

For more information I refer to:

github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc-browser

more info needed

When I login to a new site where I have not added my credentials, the credential…s are not saved to keepassxc. ## Expected Behavior When a new credentials is entered, upon successful login, the credentials should be saved in the keepassxc. ## Current Behavior The credentials are not getting saved. ## Possible Solution ## Steps to Reproduce (for bugs) 1. Open site. 2. Login by providing credentials. 3. Check if credentials have been saved. The credentials are not saved. ## Debug info KeePassXC-Browser Version: 1.7.12 KeePassXC Version: 2.7.1 Operating system: Linux Browser: Firefox Logs that I could find:- In the about:debugging page, I see this when I try to login with new credentials ``` Cannot send activated_tab message: Error: Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist. switchTab moz-extension://ea998e4f-fd04-44a0-a38f-87a57c7ddf5b/background/page.js:208 ``` It is able to detect the keepassxc running locally, as it is able to retrieve credentials. The issue is when it tries to save it, it fails.

There is also a workaround similar to mine here that is updated and uses a better wrapper script.
