Support for Zen browser
Hi!
There's this new browser called "Zen browser"
It's based on Firefox but the 1password extension doesn't work with the desktop app
1Password Version: Not Provided
Extension Version: N...
Hello everyone!
Thank you all for the continued feedback! For security reasons, the 1Password desktop app will by default only connect to supported browsers such as Firefox, Chrome, Brave, Edge and Arc. If you're using a Mac then you can add Zen Browser as an additional browser to the desktop app:
- Open and unlock the 1Password for Mac desktop app.
- Click on 1Password next to the in the menu bar.
- Click Settings.
- Click Browser.
- Click Add Browser and choose your browser from the Applications folder.
Adding additional browsers is currently only available for the Mac and Linux. We're not regularly adding new supported browsers individually since that isn't a long-term and sustainable solution however I've shared your requests to support Zen Browser with our product team. We hope to bring the custom browsers feature to 1Password on other platforms (like Windows) in the future.
For the time being, you may still be able to use 1Password in Zen Browser on your Windows PC but you'll need to unlock it separately from the desktop app using your account password.-Dave
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.
