Just downloaded and starting using LibreWolf as it is being lauded as a hardened we browser. I was wondering if there are any others out there who are knowledgeable as to if the 1Password Firefox extensions would work in LibreWolf. I do not know the internals of these browsers well enough to discern this on my own, but thought I would throw it out there in the community, hoping somebody with more experience would respond. I do know that there are the 2 types of extensions that 1password uses (local DB and the X version using remote calls), so any responses to this post can assume that I have that basic knowledge. 1Password Version: Not Provided Extension Version: Not Provided OS Version: Not Provided Referrer: forum-search:librewolf

Librewolf's stance on it is "we don't have a paid Apple Developer license and we don't want to support this signing mechanism that is put behind a paywall without providing significant gains". I think we should be able to use 'Trusted Browser' with whatever browser we want. That seems like the whole point of the feature. Pop up a warning or two so people know what they're getting themselves into. It's a security issue for us, not for you, right?

PaulDoesDev Thanks for the reply. Browsers are required to be codesigned before they can be added as a trusted browser so that other applications can't pretend to be that browser to 1Password. That being said, the team is exploring other ways that we can potentially satisfy this requirement in a safe and secure manner in the future and your feedback has been passed along internally. 🙂 -Dave

I definitely would love to use Librewolf, but there are many forks of both Chrome and Firefox that I find interesting. Additionally, given that I can: 1. Authenticate into my librewolf extension via master password 2. Authenticate into my 1password application via master password After I do this, I should be able to say that these should talk to one another (I understand the desire of not being able to do that before)

connorlanewhite Thank you for the feedback and for those additional details, I've shared your comments with the team internally. 🙂 -Dave

I use LibreWolf as a browser, which is a fork of Firefox with some tinkering under the hood to improve things like privacy, security etc. Because it's a fork of Firefox, I can install the 1Password extension for Firefox in LibreWolf. However, the browser extension and the full blown version of 1Password do not play nicely. It's like they're independent of each other. I can't use biometrics for example to unlock 1Password from the browser extension in LibreWolf, the option simply isn't there. Previously when I've unlocked 1Password from the main app, then the 1Password extension has also been unlocked; that isn't working either. So I'm having to enter in my password - which isn't the end of the world but it is somewhat annoying when you have biometrics available and that functionality exists on other browsers and even forks of those browsers. When I use Firefox - the above all works. I can use my fingerprint to unlock 1Password, directly from the browser. Brave is essentially a fork of Chrome - the 1Password extensions are exactly the same piece of software. Yet 1Password in Brave works exactly the same as it does on Chrome. Why doesn't the Firefox 1Password extension work for LibreWolf? Brave is Chrome, as LibreWolf is to Firefox. Are there any plans to officially support LibreWolf and allow things like unlocking with biometrics? Thanks, Lewys 1Password Version: 8.7.0 and 7.9.3 Extension Version: 2.3.0 OS Version: macOS 12.2

Is it possible to use the Firefox extension with the LibreWolf browser on Mac and Windows?

Hey TheDave,

It's great that you are excited for this feature! Unfortunately we can't make any promises as to a timeframe but the team are working hard to extend browser support soon.

Let us know if there is anything else we can help with in the meantime.

Nice, that looks perfect! Especially combined with passkey support it will make using a "forget everything between sessions" borderline tolerable.

Any rough ETA to when this will hit nightly? Are we talking days, weeks, months or years?

Hey TheDave, thanks for the request. I'm excited to let you know that it will be possible to add 1Password to the browser of your choice in the future. We have an announcement about that here: https://1password.community/discussion/140735/extending-support-for-trusted-web-browsers#latest

I don't have any dates to provide at the moment, but when the feature is ready, it will be first available in the Nightly version of the 1Password app. Here's how to get that:

Open the 1Password desktop app.

Click your account name and select "Settings".

Click the Advanced tab, for Release channel select "Nightly".

Let us know if you have any other questions!

LibreWolf here too, please. Or better yet, let us add browsers.
