Question

Integration between Linux app and Snap Firefox

Some days ago it was released the support for Native Messaging (still experimental) with Snap Firefox. I checked, but the integration between Linux app and Snap Firefox still doesn't work. I was wondering if the integration uses Native Messaging or other way to implement, and if it is using other way, if it could be ported to use Native Messaging, so Linux app could work with Snap Firefox. We are discussing this matter here


1Password Version: 8.9.0~1.BETA
Extension Version: 2.3.7
OS Version: Ubuntu Kinetic
Browser:_ Firefox

Hey @admiralconcave, I apologize for the delay here but we don't have any plans/roadmaps to share at this time.

Hi all - I saw mention of native messaging support in https://ubuntu.com/blog/firefox-snap-updates-and-upgrades, and I'm curious if that means there are new developments regarding this issue. I am among the users who are very much looking forward to having biometric auth restored to the 1Password Firefox extension in Ubuntu without having to revert to the .deb install!

Over two years have passed since the original post, and the problem seems to persist.
Are there any news? Will it ever work?

Any news about that? The support for native messaging seems already added to Firefox snap.

Hey @jjjttt | @mhalano

This is certainly something we'd like to implement, but we don't have any additional news or updates at this time.

I also want to have support for Firefox Snap on Ubuntu. Ubuntu 23.10 is available now, and I don't want to remove Firefox Snap and install Firefox deb-package again. It would be more than great to get 1Password supported here.

Hi @DenalB,

It's currently recommended to use a deb package for your browsers at this time. I apologize for the inconvenience. I'll pass along your feedback to the team. 🙂
