Hey @OliverUlv

The extension in Firefox should connect to your 1Password desktop app like the Safari extension does, but it sounds like something's not working right.
Try this:

  1. Right-click the extension's icon in your browser's toolbar and select "Settings".
  2. In the settings page, turn off the "Integrate with 1Password app" option.
  3. Restart your computer.
  4. Open and unlock the 1Password desktop app, then launch Firefox.
  5. Go into the extension's settings page again and turn the "Integrate with 1Password app" option back on.
  6. Test and see if both the desktop app and extension are locked/unlocked simultaneously or if you still have to unlock them each separately.

If they lock and unlock simultaneously, that means everything is working as expected and you can adjust the auto-lock timer as you see fit in the desktop app's preferences -> Security.
