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.
