Updates to 1Password for Firefox

Former Member

Thanks for the reply. To be clear, I'm referring to 1Password for Firefox specifically and I believe that I'm understanding your question correctly. I'm sorry if my previous answer was confusing, I'll try to clarify.

My point is that on the releases webpage, 2.16 came out and was never available to get via Firefox. Then 2.17 came out and it's still not available in Firefox. How can 2 releases come out and never be available for the Firefox browser?

Each browser has different technical opportunities and challenges. We don't create just one build of 1Password in the browser and then release that same build simultaneously to all browsers. When we create a new version of 1Password in the browser, we create individual builds for each browser. So there is one build for Chrome, another for Safari, and another for Firefox even though they're all labeled as the same version. These builds are all slightly different from each other so that they can work with their browser's specific environment, APIs, and review/approval policies.

Sometimes, a build of the new version of 1Password for one browser will require a little more work from our team than a build of that same version for another browser. This may result in small delays where you'll see a new version available for one browser and then see that same version be available for another browser a few days later. Since we don't want a delay that only affects one browser to delay updates for all browsers, you might sometimes see versions released for certain browsers and not others. But rest assured, the next released version will include all updates and improvements contained in those previous versions.

That being said, the current delay is not ideal and it falls short of our high standards. Our team is working hard, in collaboration with our friends at Mozilla, to get a new version (beta and stable) of 1Password for Firefox out to you as soon as possible.
