Question

Is it possible to use the Firefox extension with the LibreWolf browser on Mac and Windows?

Just downloaded and starting using LibreWolf as it is being lauded as a hardened we browser. I was wondering if there are any others out there who are knowledgeable as to if the 1Password Firefox extensions would work in LibreWolf.

I do not know the internals of these browsers well enough to discern this on my own, but thought I would throw it out there in the community, hoping somebody with more experience would respond. I do know that there are the 2 types of extensions that 1password uses (local DB and the X version using remote calls), so any responses to this post can assume that I have that basic knowledge.

    Hi @1P_Dave - re: "That being said, the team is exploring other ways that we can potentially satisfy this requirement in a safe and secure manner in the future." Could you speak to some of the ways the team is exploring? Perhaps the community could comment on them for feedback?

    Welcome to the community! We typically keep details about possible new features and functionality pretty close to the chest until those features are ready for release but I can let the team know that you'd also find the ability to add unsigned browsers to 1Password useful.

    Would you like to use LibreWolf with 1Password for Mac? Or are you using a different browser on a different platform? I'll add these details to the feature request that I'm filing on your behalf with the team internally. 🙂

    I definitely would love to use Librewolf, but there are many forks of both Chrome and Firefox that I find interesting. Additionally, given that I can:
    1. Authenticate into my librewolf extension via master password
    2. Authenticate into my 1password application via master password

    After I do this, I should be able to say that these should talk to one another (I understand the desire of not being able to do that before)

    Although I can't guarantee a timeline, we are working to get this feature available in Windows as well.
    Let me know if you have any questions.

    I have a question: Are there any news regarding Windows? I know the comment said "can't guarantee a timeline", but it's been ~11 months since then.

    It's looking a lot like the lack of answer is the answer.

    @itsTyrion and @TheDave

    I don't have any news to share at the moment. This is something that the team hopes to bring to Windows in the future but other features, bug fixes, and development work have taken priority so far.
