"Press The 1Password Icon In Your Browser’s Toolbar To Unlock"

After a recent update, I get "Press The 1Password Icon In Your Browser’s Toolbar To Unlock" for every attempt to use 1password in the browser when 1password desktop app is open. When I investigate, I see "Integration status: Connection problem" on the app's settings page. 

I see that this is a frequently occurring problem. I've tried some of the suggested fixes and am having no luck. Not sure where to go from here. 

1Password Version: 8.11.18
Extension Version: 8.11.16.35
OS Version: Windows 11 24H2 26100.2894
Browser:_ Firefox 145.0.2 (64-bit)

I'm sorry that you're seeing a connection issue between 1Password in Firefox and the 1Password desktop app. As a first step, please try all of the suggestions in this article: 


If that still doesn't work then, I'd like to ask you to create and share a console log of 1Password in your browser:
