Hi billk69:

Thanks for reaching out. Our newer extension, 1Password in the browser, stores some details locally in the context of your browser. Because it's operating "independently" from the 1Password desktop app, it needs to write some files into Firefox's local storage.

If you'd like to continue using Firefox in private browsing mode as well as 1Password, rather than using the "always use private browsing mode" option, instead open a new private browsing window after launching a regular Firefox window.
