I'm grateful for your comment, as it lead me to a successful outcome for my similar question about firefox. I wanted to report back in case it works for you, too:

It is very likely that your MS Edge works because msedge is 0:0:

$ ls -l /opt/microsoft/msedge/msedge
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 219534296 May 4 17:30 /opt/microsoft/msedge/msedge*

whereas your firefox-bin is likely owned by your current user, or a uid that they otherwise deem "unacceptable."

If that's true of your circumstance, I'd suggest changing the ownership of at least firefox-bin and possibly all of the firefox files to 0:0 and see if it starts to work for you

The tie-breaker is if your $HOME/.config/1Password/logs/BrowserSupport/1Password_rCURRENT.log contains "Failed to verify browser permissions", in case you wanted to have a look before going to the trouble of running the chown
