    Hello folks, 

    I'm happy to share that you can now add Zen Browser as an additional browser to 1Password for Windows. Follow these steps: 

    1. Install 1Password in Zen Browser from the Firefox Browser Add-ons Store
    2. Add Zen Browser as an additional browser to 1Password: Connect additional browsers to the 1Password app


    A couple of notes:

    • Make sure that Zen Browser is installed system-wide with admin permissions in the C:\Program Files folder.
    • Zen Browser is not an officially supported browser and you might run into unexpected issues. If you see those same issues with a supported browser like Firefox then let us know by starting a new discussion and we can investigate.

This fix has been working well enough for a while - I'm not offended by needing to manually link a browser that's still advertised as in beta.

But over the last few days the extension has refused to connect to the 1password binary because "a newer firefox version is available". It seems the app is now confused and thinks I'm actually running firefox but it fails some sort of validation check.

Zen has already updated to build on the latest firefox (136.0.1 as of March 11).

The same issue here: extension reporting a connection problem. For now, I've managed to fix it by removing Zen.app from the authorized browsers and then adding it back in.
