On Windows 10, when I log into the 1Password desktop app, my Chrome browser extension unlocks at the same time. However, when I login to the desktop app on Ubuntu Linux, my Firefox browser extension does not unlock... I have to login separately, which is not convenient. Suggestions for me? 1Password Version: 8.9.4 Extension Version: 2.3.8 OS Version: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS Browser:_ Firefox 105.0.3

Fixed this by adding the following lines to /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.firefox: ``` Native Messaging owner @{HOME}/.mozilla//native-messaging-hosts/ ixr, 1Password extension /opt/1Password/1Password-BrowserSupport ixr, /run/user/1000/1Password-BrowserSupport.sock ixr, /run/user/1000/1Password-BrowserSupport.sock wr, ``` Then I restarted AppArmor with systemctl restart apparmor and now the 1Password Firefox extension unlocks when I unlock the desktop app and vice versa.

Hey @Peter_Wang, thanks for reaching out. Is the Firefox app installed on your Linux machine the one that's installed by default with Ubuntu 22.04? The reason I ask is that such default installations are packaged using Snap, which sandboxes Firefox and would prevent any browser extensions (like ours) from communicating out to a desktop app like 1Password for Linux. If you're using the default Firefox installation, I think that's the most likely cause for this issue. Let me know if that's the case! Ali

That's probably right. How do I reinstall Firefox without the barriers to extension communications?

Hey @Peter_Wang, you can follow the steps listed here: Install Firefox on Linux from Mozilla builds Be sure to remove the Snap install of Firefox on your system as well! Let me know how that goes or if you have any questions. Ali

Fixed this by adding the following lines to /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.firefox:
```

Native Messaging

owner @{HOME}/.mozilla//native-messaging-hosts/ ixr,

1Password extension

/opt/1Password/1Password-BrowserSupport ixr,
/run/user/1000/1Password-BrowserSupport.sock ixr,
/run/user/1000/1Password-BrowserSupport.sock wr,
```

Then I restarted AppArmor with systemctl restart apparmor and now the 1Password Firefox extension unlocks when I unlock the desktop app and vice versa. Solution inspired by https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc-browser/wiki/Troubleshooting-guide#6-apparmor-with-ubuntu

  This worked a treat for me (Kubuntu, Firefox via PPA). To clarify the steps (Replace `nano` below with the editor of your choice):
  Use the "local override" to leave the default policy in place. This will prevent future updates from overwriting your changes.
  sudo nano /etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.bin.firefox
  Add the following content:
  # Native messaging owner @{HOME}/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/ ixr, # 1Password extension /opt/1Password/1Password-BrowserSupport ixr, /run/user/1000/1Password-BrowserSupport.sock ixr, /run/user/1000/1Password-BrowserSupport.sock wr,
  Save the file and quit the editor
  Restart the AppArmor service:
  sudo systemctl restart apparmor
  Restart Firefox

Having the same issue, even after installing Firefox from the Mozilla Team PPA. What would be the best way forward in debugging this?

Hi @Peter_Wang! You can check if you're on the Snap version by running snap list in a terminal and seeing whether Firefox is listed. If it does turn out to be the Snap version, you may find the below guide helpful here:

I hope this helps, but if you have any further questions, let us know!

Ah yes, I noticed it was auto-updating, so it must be snap. How to I get back to and stay back on the debian version? Thanks.

Hi @Peter_Wang,

I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue again.

Can I have you confirm if you're using the Snap version of Firefox? We've had reports where other users had to revert back to the Deb version after Firefox auto updated.

Hello, I am seeing the issue come up again... I have to enter my master password in the 1Password application and the Firefox extension separately. This is Ubuntu Linux. sudo chown -R root:root /opt/firefox is not resolving it. I closed Firefox 114.0 and 1Password 8.10.7 before running chown. Any ideas?
