Hello @user053! 👋

I'm sorry for the confusion. If you'd like 1Password to stay running, and unlocked, in the background then you'll need to turn the menu bar icon on. If the menu bar icon is turned off then 1Password will lock itself and close all running processes.

This affects the firefox extension because it cannot unlock the desktop app once the integrate with app is checked, it will ask to unlock the 1password desktop app every time I click the icon but after unlocking it won't show password selection pop up window, instead, it will ask again to unlock the desktop app

If you turn the menu bar icon on then do things work correctly? And can you tell me if you're using Touch ID or Apple Watch unlock? Or do you always unlock 1Password using your account password?
