Linux/Ubuntu - Nightly Browsers Unsupported for Browser Integration

I haven't exactly tested this extensively,
but,

I've tried this with 1password, and 1password beta.
I know has a browser authentication failure on firefox-nightly,
and I've tried firefox-trunk (I didn't specifically check the addon logs for trunk),
(using both the 1password addon, and it's beta variant).
Though I'm unsure of the real differences between the firefox versions there.

I also tested it with Brave Nightly, and Brave,
it seems to work on Brave just fine,
but I would guess Brave Nightly has the same authentication failure that Firefox Nightly has.

I didn't really go through the hassle of trying to install firefox outside of snap,
but my guess is that the 1password addon is functional there.

What's weird is I swear that earlier this,
or last week the 1password addon could sync with the app just fine on firefox nightly.

I did see there was a soft fix for vivaldi in https://1password.community/discussion/134430/cant-connect-the-app-with-the-browser-extension-in-ubuntu,

While writing this,
I found that worked by adding firefox-trunk,
but was unable to get it to work on brave-nightly.

Firefox Nightly is my main browser, and this issue is, for the most part resolved.
so more of an informative post for others.

1Password Version: 8.10.12
Extension Version: 2.14.2
OS Version: Ubuntu 23.04
Browser: Firefox Nightly 118.0a1

Hey @RickKraut, we greatly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. I'm glad to hear you were able to get things working on Firefox Nightly by adding firefox-trunk to the custom_allowed_browsers list.

I was able to reproduce this issue on Ubuntu with Firefox and Brave and have passed the details along to our developers for further investigation.

Thanks!

I am also experiencing app/extension connection issues, but I am less capable of troubleshooting than @RickKraut is. @AliH1P is custom_allowed_browsers a 1Password setting? If so, where?

I am on Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS, desktop. 1Password Desktop 8.10.13 installed via apt. Extensions in both Chromium 116.0.5845.110 (official, via snap) and Firefox 117.0 (via snap).

The situation is I must unlock each browser extension or the desktop app independent of all the others, even though the settings in each one are turned on to integrate with each other. In the browsers, I get "Problems connecting. (yellow dot) Please ensure the 1Password app is unlocked." It definitely is, and I've tried all kinds of combinations of turning off, restarting browser, unlocking, turning back on, unlocking in different order, etc. Soon the possible combinations grow beyond what I am willing to sit and try, so there's gotta be a better way to fix or troubleshoot.

Update: following this helpful guide (https://1password.community/discussion/141799/how-to-ubuntu-22-04-03-desktop-clean-install-reliably-get-firefox-integration-working#latest) Firefox and the desktop app are now in sync. I'll have to dig into a Chromium solution.

Hey @BesieDai, thanks for reaching out. I'm glad to hear you've been able to get browser integration working with Firefox!

For Chromium, similar to Firefox, you'll need to remove the snap version and install via a .deb package.

Let me know if you encounter any issues or have further questions.
