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

Thanks for sharing! 1Password for Linux works a little differently from other platforms and that wouldn't work for 1Password for Mac (or Windows) as mentioned here.

However I'm sure that folks using Linux will appreciate the tip. 🙂

It would probably be of relevance to the group that I got the desktop integration working in Librewolf. I'm on Linux (specifically NixOS), so I'm not sure about other operating systems, but I did so using a combination of placing the appropriate custom_allowed_browsers file (general steps described https://old.reddit.com/r/1Password/comments/ojugl0/does_the_linux_app_integration_work/h5jkt35/) and, specifically for Librewolf, creating a symbolic link as described https://librewolf.net/docs/faq/#how-do-i-get-native-messaging-to-work.

Thank you for the feedback. Can you tell me a little more about your suggestion? What exactly do you mean by "system authentication" in the context of macOS and do you have any examples of other extensions for Firefox that offer such a feature?

I look forward to hearing from you. 🙂

-Dave

If 1Password MacOS can't be authorized to communicate with the 1Password Firefox extension when used in LibreWolf, can we at least get system authentication added to the extension to make it usable?

1Password for Linux works a little differently from the other platforms when it comes to integration with desktop browsers. To reduce confusion, I've moved your comment over to the other thread which is dedicated to the situation on Linux. Please continue the conversation there.

For those that are looking for Librewolf support specifically in a Linux context, it appears staff have split that conversation into a new thread "https://1password.community/discussion/comment/697201."

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. 🙂

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?

Hi everyone, I wanted to provide some info about adding LibreWolf as a trusted browser.

After discussing with my colleagues it looks like 1Password's trusted browser feature won't be able to add LibreWolf as a trusted browser. For security reasons, the "Trusted Browser" feature requires a valid code signature on all browsers that it is used with.

Since Librewolf doesn't have a valid code signature, it won't work with the new "Trusted Browsers" feature. With Librewolf not being signed, you can still use 1Password in the browser without app integration. I recommend reaching out to the developers of LibreWolf to request that they sign the browser using the appropriate process on each platform so that it can be added as a trusted browser.

I will also let our Product team know that our users would like to see more support for LibreWolf or other unsigned browsers.

I apologize for any confusion. Let me know if you have any questions!

Hi TheDave thanks for reaching out!

We've recently introduced the ability to add trusted browsers to 1Password through the desktop app. The feature is available in the desktop app on Mac devices. Although I can't guarantee a timeline, we are working to get this feature available in Windows as well.

Let me know if you have any questions.
