1Password Firefox extension used to work fine, now does nothing

For approximately a week (about the last update), the 1Password Firefox extension does nothing.
No prompts to fill username or password, and clicking on the 1Password icon in the browser bar seems to have no response. Disabling the extension and enabling it has no change. Same with uninstalling and re-installing.

Please fix this.

There are multiple similar reports on the Mozilla Addon website for the 1Password extension.

Hello folks,

Our developers have fixed an issue where the 1Password browser extension could become unresponsive in Firefox and cause abnormally high CPU usage. Please update to the latest version (8.11.4.27):


Thank you for your patience as we worked to develop and release a fix. If you're still seeing issues after updating then please send an email to support@1Password.com so that our team can investigate further.

I am having the same issue on firefox on a pc.  I can't get logged in to some of my programs at all.

I have removed the plug in and re-added it, I have restarted my computer and it still isn't working.  Now trying to get you an error log report wand when I click inspect nothing happens.

As title. When I open Firefox, all URLs just hang with what looks like an https issue. Disabling the 1Password extension, quitting Firefox, reopening Firefox, and re-enabling 1P fixes the problem until the next time I quit Firefox.

Incidentally, the Launch Chatbot button on https://1password.com/contact-support goes to https://support.1password.com/?openChat but does not open a chat.

Hi @Calion,

That sounds extremely frustrating! I'm sorry you're getting that issue. Just to confirm: Are you only using the 1Password extension and not the standalone app? Also, are you running any other extensions when this is happening?

Over the last month or so my 1Password Firefox browser extension would stop responding. This was occasionally associated with a Firefox crash. This time I looked further into it and found via the Firefox Task Manager that it was using 100% of CPU. When I killed 1Password process and restarted the extension, the extension was working again.

I don't know if this is relevant but I keep a high number of tabs and windows open most of the time. Even when I shutdown my system. This allows me to have many tabs open all the time which I find useful.

Is there more I can do to determine the cause and fix it?

Extension version: 8.11.0.29
1Password version: 8.11.0
OS Windows 11, upgraded from Win 10 recently.

I was having a seemingly related problem, and I uninstalled the current version, and then installed version 8.10.82.29 from the 1Password Firefox Extension Version History Page (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1password-x-password-manager/versions/), and that is working for me. (You also have to Manage Extension and disable auto-updates for 1password until they fix it)

I created an account to come and say thank you. 
You fixed the issue until 1Password fixes the issue 🙂.

I am having the same problem (same version too). I also tried disabling extension and re-installing. Please fix bc I now need to use a different browser. 

I noticed that the 1password icon looks different than it used to (see attached). The black outer ring is missing (it is still there within Edge).

Thanks :) I'll test it.

Same problem here. Firefox Developer Edition 141.0b9 (64-Bit) on macOS Ventura 13.7.6 on Intel Macbook. 1PW Extension 8.11.0.29 Stable

I have this problem too. It occurs on several different computers where we use 1Password. Initially, disabling and re-enabling the add-on helped, but then it stopped working. I tried deleting the add-on completely and reinstalling it, and it worked for a while, but then stopped again. The Windows application works fine, but there is a major problem in Firefox 140.0.4. It works in other browsers. 

But it seems to me that other add-ons are also freezing. For example, I have vidIQ Vision, and I can't click on it, and I tried to install NordPass so that I would have its icon next to it, but I can't click on it either.

Hello @cofiem, @DuchVeliky, @grimbuehler, @GaryH, @DoctorBrown, @Calion, and @egerlach! 👋

I'm sorry that you're running into issues with 1Password in Firefox. I haven't yet been able to reproduce the issue on my end and I'd like to gather some more information. Can you reply to this post with the following information so that I can try to reproduce your environment: 

  1. What version of 1Password are you using?
  2. What version of Firefox are you using? 
  3. Are you using a Mac, Windows PC, or Linux device? 
  4. In Firefox, while the issue is happening, open the task manager by navigating to about:processes, what do you see for CPU usage for Extensions? 
  5. Are other extensions also unresponsive? Or just 1Password? 


I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello,

after today update i have firefox version 141.0 and 1Password version 8.11.2. You can check my video with the problem: 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-iHxfRCE_Q

Sometimes it helps if I deactivate the add-on and reactivate it, but the problem returns very quickly. Uninstalling and reinstalling did not help. It seems that at the moment of the problem no add-on is working and not just 1Password, but I don't know if 1Password is causing it. I also tried deactivating all add-ons and activating only 1Password, but the problem is still there.

Can anyone confirm if disabling Adblock plus makes any difference.

I have the same firefox+1pass extension+desktop 1pass on 3 different windows pcs. I disabled Adblock on one machine that was experiencing this issue and that seemed to fix it. My other pc seems to run fine while adblock is still enabled. Not the most conclusive solution but just wondering if anyone else has the same experience.

July 23, 2025

I am not running an Adblock extension so it seems that is not the only issue.

I also noticed that my FireFox is not totally closing when I exit. I wonder if that is another symptom. See this page: Re: 1Password extension blocking all pages in Firefox | 1Password Community. Also, is anyone else seeing that the 1password icon does not have the black ring. See my earlier note with screenshot. When the black ring is missing, 1password does not work.

Just searched for others, found this post. Happening here also, about a week now.

firefox   142.0b2 (64-bit)
1password firefox extension Version 8.11.0.29    Last Updated July 18, 2025
1password desktop software on Win10 Pro Version 8.11.2

Desktop software works fine, never issues. Firefox extension every couple days, first thing in the morning it seems i go to click the extension icon pinned, and clicking just does nothing. My two other installed extensions is Adblock Plus and FoxClocks. No issues with either of them. 

Issue matches up pretty well with the Last Update to the extension.
