When I login to 1Password on Ubuntu Linux, the Firefox extension does not unlock

On Windows 10, when I log into the 1Password desktop app, my Chrome browser extension unlocks at the same time. However, when I login to the desktop app on Ubuntu Linux, my Firefox browser extension does not unlock... I have to login separately, which is not convenient. Suggestions for me?

1Password Version: 8.9.4
Extension Version: 2.3.8
OS Version: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
Browser:_ Firefox 105.0.3

Having the same issue, even after installing Firefox from the Mozilla Team PPA. What would be the best way forward in debugging this?

Fixed this by adding the following lines to /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.firefox:
```

Native Messaging

owner @{HOME}/.mozilla//native-messaging-hosts/ ixr,

1Password extension

/opt/1Password/1Password-BrowserSupport ixr,
/run/user/1000/1Password-BrowserSupport.sock ixr,
/run/user/1000/1Password-BrowserSupport.sock wr,
```

Then I restarted AppArmor with systemctl restart apparmor and now the 1Password Firefox extension unlocks when I unlock the desktop app and vice versa. Solution inspired by https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc-browser/wiki/Troubleshooting-guide#6-apparmor-with-ubuntu

    This worked a treat for me (Kubuntu, Firefox via PPA). To clarify the steps (Replace `nano` below with the editor of your choice):

    • Use the "local override" to leave the default policy in place. This will prevent future updates from overwriting your changes.
    sudo nano /etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.bin.firefox
    • Add the following content:
    # Native messaging
owner @{HOME}/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/ ixr,
# 1Password extension
/opt/1Password/1Password-BrowserSupport ixr,
/run/user/1000/1Password-BrowserSupport.sock ixr,
/run/user/1000/1Password-BrowserSupport.sock wr,
    • Save the file and quit the editor
    • Restart the AppArmor service:
    sudo systemctl restart apparmor
    • Restart Firefox
