If KeePassXC is sandboxed [in a Flatpak](https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.keepassxc.KeePassXC) , browsers can only access it, if they are _not_ sandboxed, i.e. installed as an deb/rpm package or similar on the host.
Sandboxing both the browser, i.e. [Firefox](https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.mozilla.firefox) , and KeePassXC – or at least the browser and installing KeePassXC natively, which you'd actually want for security reasons – is not possible.
TL;DR:
* this should work out-of-the box: Firefox (host-installed), KeePassXC (flatpak from flathub)
* this does not: Firefox (sandboxed), KeePassXC (host or sandboxed, does not matter)
So how to make that communication work?
