Firefox integration with desktop app not working

I have recently switched to Firefox (from Edge) on my Linux machine. Previously, biometric unlock unlock worked when I pressed the unlock shortcut, but now in FIrefox it doesn't seem to work for me. I found a similar topic where the option to enable integration with the desktop app was mentioned. I checked and this setting is enabled for me. I tried disabling and re-enabling it.

The unlock keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+period) also doesn't seem to work.

I have uninstalled the firefox snap and installed it from a deb package, in case the snap confinement was the root cause, but that didn't make a difference.

How can I fix this?

1Password Version: 8.9.14
Extension Version: 2.5.1
OS Version: Ubuntu 22.10
Browser:_ Firefox

    To help anyone else stumbling upon this later: with the help of 1pw support, it was found that the issue was AppArmor rules blocking Firefox from accessing the 1pw process. This is how:


    sudo dmesg | grep apparmor | grep firefox | grep 1Password

    This revealed plenty of denials.

    Then I did the following:


    sudo ln -s /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.firefox /etc/apparmor.d/disable/
    sudo apparmor_parser -R /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.firefox

    This wholesale disables AppArmor for the Firefox process, which might not be desirable in all situations. I'm sure a more refined solution is possible where only the access to 1pw is allowed, but I was OK with disabling it fully in my case.

    Hey minttamas,

    I'm sorry for the trouble you are having with 1Password in your browser. I think it would be useful if we could take a closer look at some logs and what may be going wrong.

    I'd like to ask you to send over a console log from your browser as well as a diagnostics report:

    Please attach the reports to an email message addressed to support+forum@1password.com with a link to this thread.

    You should receive an automated reply from our BitBot assistant with a Support ID number. Please post that number here. Thanks very much!

    It looks like the shortcut not working was temporary, but the integration with the desktop app is still not working.
