Integration between Linux app and Snap Firefox
Some days ago it was released the support for Native Messaging (still experimental) with Snap Firefox. I checked, but the integration between Linux app and Snap Firefox still doesn't work. I was wondering if the integration uses Native Messaging or other way to implement, and if it is using other way, if it could be ported to use Native Messaging, so Linux app could work with Snap Firefox. We are discussing this matter here

HeuvelTop I'd say first thing to try is just to uninstall and reinstall the plugin (making sure you have your secret key, 2FA and password handy). If that doesn't work, try creating a new firefox profile (eg. firefox -P) and install just 1Password.. Does it work? If so, can gradually introduce back the other plugins you find until you find culprit. Then adapt your normal profile accordingly.
You can run multiple firefox windows in different profiles with "firefox --no-remote -P" ... so you could have your normal and test profiles side by side (would recommend not logging into firefox account in test profile).

I am using Ubuntu 22.04 with Firefox Snap 122.0.1 with 1Password for over a year. And now all of a sudden, since a few days it stopped functioning. When I open the extension to enter my master password it opens a new tab with a blank page.
I wonder what has changed because it really worked for months!

Snap-based Firefox is the default in the current LTS version of Ubuntu. I would really like to continue to be able to use 1Password.

+1 from me as well.
I'm using the Firefox snap (from Ubuntu 22.04 LTS) with 1Password, and the lack of integration between the browser extension and desktop app is still a major nuisance.
I'd prefer to not switch to the deb version of Firefox, as I value the sandboxing provided by snaps.

I just wanted to add another voice to this thread. This issue has been a major inconvenience.

I also want to have support for Firefox Snap on Ubuntu. Ubuntu 23.10 is available now, and I don't want to remove Firefox Snap and install Firefox deb-package again. It would be more than great to get 1Password supported here.
