Hi @colep

Does this setup result in either the 1Password or Firefox app not living in the /Application folder? If so, that would preclude the use of Shared Lock State (which is how we're able to offer biometric unlock). One of the ways 1Password protects you is that it won't speak to any arbitrary process. The connecting app has to pass code signing and has to be on the whitelist. If either 1Password or Firefox are not in /Applications, then this check would fail.

Please let me know if that is what you're up against.
