Suddenly 1password keeps intruding into browser - Bug?

Has something changed with recent updates?  My main 1Password window from my opened app keeps coming to the fore with every Firefox window or even tab that I open.  Honestly, it is very annoying and an new behavior, starting less than 2 weeks ago. This still happens if the open 1Password app is hidden.  It does not happen when the 1Password window is minimized to the dock.  

The other odd behavior - even though I have opened my 1Password app, the browser extension insists that I click the 1Password icon in the tool bar and enter my password again.  My recollection is that once the main app was opened, I did not have to enter my password again within the browser toolbar.  

This happens in Chrome as well.
