Public bug reported: (this was initially reported here: https://github.com/flatpak/xdg- desktop-portal/pull/705#issuecomment-1123392120)
When testing the WebExtensions portal against the only known client so far (firefox snap + the corresponding upstream patch https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D140803), I'm consistently seeing the following problem: the first time the user is prompted for authorization and accepts, the portal will spawn the native connector and pass the file descriptors to the client (firefox snap), but the client sees the file descriptors as closed. Closing the client and re- opening it doesn't help. Only when the portal is terminated and restarted does communication through FDs start working normally. It turns out this is caused by a missing variable initialization, which is trivially fixed by https://github.com/jhenstridge/xdg-desktop- portal/pull/2.
