I am looking for 1Password to correctly support Container Tabs in Firefox

I'm also interested in this type of functionality. Are there any workarounds to launch a URL in a given Firefox or equivalent container tab in any other browser with a single click?

My use case is slightly different though, but as a user of so many AWS accounts, it's sometimes challenging to open multiple environments simultaneously.

Well unfortunately this doensn't seem to have been address by 1Password team in the last 6 months.

I just open the relevant Firefox contrainer tab then go to the 1Password entry for that site and copy and paste the URL in the contrainer tab, this is hardly efficient and working well with the browser, the fact that 1Password offer a Firefox plug in but do not support this key feature of it, seems very poor, sigh...

Hey @Ayecuramba,

Firstly, I am so sorry that this was missed initially.

I have been doing some testing in Firefox and I'm having a hard time replicating the trouble you are seeing. Here are the steps I have taken:

• I have set up Multi-Account Containers in Firefox and added a website to my personal container
• On going directly to that website 1Password appears in the fields and offers to fill
• If I go to the website by clicking 'Open and fill' from the 1Password icon in my browser toolbar I see a message asking if I would like it opened in my personal container, I say yes and tick 'Do not ask again' and it opens and fills
• The next time I try this I do not see the message and it fills in the container as expected.

Can you let me know if I am misunderstanding or provide me with the steps to try to replicate the issue you are running into? In addition, can you let me know which version of Firefox you have installed and the version of 1Password in your browser you are using?

@msoutullo

Are you using Open and Fill from your 1Password desktop app or are you launching the URL directly from 1Password in your browser? Any information you can provide on the behaviour you are trying to achieve would be really useful.

Thank you!

I am having the same issue. I have followed your steps and 1Password does not ask to open a site in a container tab. If I choose a container tab and then ask the browser extension to open and fill a URL 1Password overrides the container choice and opens the site in a noncontainer window. I am using Firefox 112.0.1 and 1Password8.

Hey @msoutullo
So I am using the latest Firefox 112.0.2 and the 1Password Firefox extension latest 2.9.0

Steps to replicate.

Open new window in browser, then add a then add a Container tab, say Banking.

Then once Firefox extension is unlocked search for your banking site, click on it Open & Fill, it replaces the Container you created with a new standard Firefox tab. So defeats the purpose of using Container Tabs to restrict the flow of information.

Hope that helps Steph

Hey @jazzlover, @Ayecuramba,

Thank you for getting back to me.

When using Open and Fill 1Password will always open an new tab so even if you have a current container tab open it will not fill into that tab it will fill into a new tab as you have described.

If you would like 1Password to Open and Fill into your container tab you will need to first add the website for example your banking website to your banking container tab. You can do this by going directly to the website > click on the container tab icon > Always open this site in > Banking.

Then the next time you Open and Fill from 1Password it should offer to fill in the chosen container tab.

Let me know how you get on!

Would it be possible for 1password to open a new tab of the same container type as the current tab? For example, if I am in a Work tab, I want the next tab to be a work tab as well.

My gut tells me we need to also ask the Firefox team to support this.

Hey @LucasRoesler,

Unless you have already assigned the website you are opening to the specific container type you'd like it to open in it will open a fresh tab.

I can put in a request with our product team to see if this is something that is possible for us to do and if they'd consider it in a future update, any information on how you use container tabs and how adding this functionality would positively impact your workflow would be really helpful for me to add weight to this request.

Thank you!

I requested this years and years ago when I first started using 1Password, and was thrilled to see it implemented pretty quickly. I was less thrilled when it stopped working not long after, and have been increasingly disappointed that the regression has been ignored. I trip on this a dozen times a day.

Steph, I'm not sure what you mean by "container tab icon" - are you using an addon for this? Container tabs are built into Firefox and don't require an addon, which is why it's so perplexing that 1Password is fighting with and overriding a native browser feature.

Correct behavior:
- Open new tab in "Banking" container (about:newtab or about:blank)
- Open 1Password addon menu, find entry, click "open and fill"
- The bank site is opened in the existing "Banking" container tab

Broken behavior:
- Open new tab in "Banking" container
- Open 1Password addon menu, find entry, click "open and fill"
- 1Password closes my Banking tab and opens the site in a new tab without a container

In short, the request is: If the current tab is about:newtab or about:blank, use it instead of closing it and opening a new one"

Stretch goal: Let me tell 1Password that a particular entry or tag should always open in a certain tab container.
