Hi,

Thanks for your reply!

Unfortunately I still get the 'IPC connect call failed' warning:

$ gpg-connect-agent /bye
$ ps -p $(pidof gpg-agent)
> PID TTY          TIME CMD
> 25379 ?        00:00:09 gpg-agent
$ ls -la $(gpgconf --list-dir agent-socket)

$ GPG_AGENT_INFO=$(gpgconf --list-dir agent-socket):0:1 firefox
