Question

The Firefox Extension does not let me login from the icon on the web site login fields anymore

This used to work until recently.  It DOES still work with the Chrome extension.  But I don't use Chrome because I do NOT want Google to track my every move.

By "icon on the web site login fields", I presume you mean the one which appears on the right of the input fields for usernames and passwords, such as this one:

The successful login process was too quick to capture a screen shot, but the process is still working as it always has for me in Firefox.

Tested with Firefox 152.0 (64-bit) using extension version 8.12.22.17 released two weeks ago.

Is 1Password giving up on Firefox?

Given the working and up-to-date extension for Firefox from 1Password Devs, such a decision would seem unlikely to have been made in the past two weeks, but that seems like the kind of thing which would be announced.

All I can say is, when I click that icon on the login fields, I get I pop-up that tells me I must click the icon on the toolbar in order to login to 1password.  That's a pain, but If I have not already pinned the extension icon to the toolbar, even worse

That is the correct behaviour when you have not logged in to your 1Password account.

If your browser is connected to your native 1Password application, then run that before trying to use the browser extension. If you run it in "silent" mode, then you will still need to authenticate the first time, but should automatically get a login window the first time you try to use the extension.If your browser is not connected - either by choice or a limitation such as sandboxed browser, then you will need to click the extension icon and authenticate once per browser session.

As for pinning the extension icon, that's a choice. I prefer a very minimal bar on my browsers, but still pin it, as you saw.

I disagree.  When browser integration is turned on (from the Windows app,) clicking on that Icon in the login fields is supposed give you the login dialog right there, without having to click an icon way up there on the toolbar. It should not give you that tiny tooltip telling you to click on the toolbar icon.

  And I should have said this, but I was already logged in from the Windows app.

As it turns out,  something had disabled browser integration.  I did not and would not do that.  But these things sometimes happen when an app receives an update.  What I don't understand is why I did not see the same problem with Chrome.

I do know about pinning extensions Icons to the toolbar.  I do that, and always with 1Password.  I was just mentioning how difficult (and possibly confusing) it would be if someone had not done that, if 1Password had indeed decided to go that route.   But they didn't it, and as it was pointed out, they probably would not, especially without warning.  In this case the problem was "Browser Integration" being disabled.  Too bad the tooltip I was seeing didn't mention it.
