1P_David : Is there a particular browser you're looking to use alongside 1Password for Linux?
Yes, Librewolf, hence why I posted in the thread titled "Is it possible to use the Firefox extension with the LibreWolf browser." :)
1P_David : Have you already tried creating a custom_allowed_browsers file with an allow list?
Yes. Customer support directed me to do so. I did as directed, and observed no effect. Support confirmed afterwards that they had "done some testing on a virtual machine and [were] unable to address the issue with Librewolf being an unsupported browser."
If you have advice on how to make it work beyond the instructions that were already provided to me, I would be greatly appreciative.
Additionally, is there any official 1Passowrd documentation on the custom_allowed_browsers
feature? I cannot find any and aside from the instructions provided directly by support, I have only found unofficial sources (like https://wavebox.io/kb/1password-extension/) describing the process.
Feel free to reference support case SGM-84777-144 if possible/desired.
ChrisC1P: Since Librewolf doesn't have a valid code signature, it won't work with the new "Trusted Browsers" feature.
I would like to understand more how you came to that conclusion that "Librewolf doesn't have a valid code signature." From looking at the releases that are provided on https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/bsys6/-/releases it is clear from the included .sig
files that the releases are signed using the key located at https://gpg.librewolf.net/. Is there a different way that browsers are supposed to be signed for the purposes of the Trusted Browser feature, and is this platform dependent?
In particular, based on the https://1password.community/discussion/140735/extending-support-for-trusted-web-browsers#latest that was previously shared:
Will the setting make any web browser compatible with 1Password?
The setting will allow any web browser to connect to the 1Password desktop app as long as it is code-signed (Mac or Windows) or installed with admin privileges (Linux).
This code signature issue sounds like it is irrelevant for Linux users. Can you confirm that interpretation is correct? Do you have any additional information about what "installed with admin privileges" actually means? Does the executable need to live in a certain directory or have some other attributes?
