Console error: "Retrieving "b5x-stateful-inline-icon" flag errored: timed out" [Fixed in the beta]

this is fixed on the latest beta browser extension.

@pvinis and where could we download the beta extensions from?

just search online for "1password extension beta" and there you go :)

@pvinis nevermind, I found them here https://1password.community/discussion/121114/faq-grab-the-latest-1password-in-the-browser-beta and I can confirm, the darn error is gone!

I certainly don't want to unduly increase the pressure ... but are there any news regarding this?

Thing is, the Console displays this error for each an every site. A considerable part of my work includes working with the developer tools to troubleshoot issues with websites. To avoid irritating users I either have to edit screenshots I send them or disable the 1Password add-on and reload the page. Both options add a considerable tedium. And: Something is apparently wrong which needs fixing, is it? :-)

Looking at my fellow posters here, I doubt I am the only one ... so: Pretty please. :-)

Big +1 for @mmaass 's message here.
While to us developers an issue retrieving an icon is assumed to be trivial and non-security related, it doesn't sound trivial at all to other users or recipients of screenshots to say "Oh that's just a little error from 1PASSWORD, a security tool, nothing to see there."

Looks like this is solved in the latest beta? Any ETA on releasing a patch version?
Thanks!

@prathers :

I'm amazed by the number of people complaining about this.
Does anyone give the devs a chance? Or read the posts above their own?

When it comes to support for a widely used piece of software, things are often prioritized based on user satisfaction. User dissatisfaction == less $$$. Without evidence of dis/satisfaction, it's a guess.

While ultimately this is a trivial bug (a missing icon), this thread is abundant evidence that the way the error presents is interrupting 1P's customers' work in various ways. What may have, at first, been considered a low-priority bug now has all this evidence 1P Support can bring to 1P Devs to boost its priority.

On one hand, I understand your call for "giving the devs a chance". Though, many of us here are kindly requesting updates on this.

On the other hand, 1Password is a security tool, and a bug that presents as an error being left this long, especially one that appears to require a simple fix (reference the icon properly), is not a good look for a security tool. Errors in password management software, no matter how trivial they may be or appear, are anxiety-inducing, and validly IMO.

@mmaass, @kwyld, @nciiis, @dilenio

I'm sorry that the issue is affecting your workflows, our team is aware of the impact to customers and a fix has been developed and is currently being tested before it's included in a future update to the stable version of 1Password in the browser.

If you're willing, please try the beta version and let me know if you still see the issue there: Install a beta release of the 1Password browser extension

@1P_Dave Yes! I installed the beta add-on for Firefox and the error is gone. :-)
That is a relief! Thank you

By the way: This page here shows several errors in the Console ... but, apparently, none of them is caused by my 1Password beta add-on ... ;-)

update - the chrome beta did fix this - thanks
