pywalfox is not working when installed from pipx

[SDD701]

Hello. Pywalfox is not working when I install it from pipx. The extension says can't connect to native-message-application. Maybe it's related to the path or venvs in main.sh

SDD@ExilOS ~> pywalfox install
Successfully removed manifest at: /home/SDD/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/pywalfox.json
Copied manifest to: /home/SDD/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/pywalfox.json
Set daemon executable path to: /home/SDD/.local/share/pipx/venvs/pywalfox/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pywalfox/bin/main.sh

SDD@ExilOS ~> cat .mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/pywalfox.json

hello! I had the exact same error as your did. I also installed pywalfox via pipx.
after running the main.sh script I got the same error message.
the last line of the script should be this:

python -m pywalfox start || python3 -m pywalfox start || python2.7 -m pywalfox start || python3.9 -m pywalfox start

I changed it to this:

pywalfox start || python -m pywalfox start || python3 -m pywalfox start || python2.7 -m pywalfox start || python3.9 -m pywalfox start

the daemon and the extension connected and I have successfully set the firefox theme with the extension.

hope that helps!

Yep, that's working now, thank you. I couldn't find where this script in the repo though. It would be nice to make a PR, so I'll leave the issue open for now

The daemon is in a separate repository.
