I encountered the warning frame

1Password refused connection from untrusted app: Unknown Browser by Unknown Publisher

appears at the bottom of 1password for windows.
But can still work normally Can fill in the blanks on each website.

I confident that have download the firefox browser directly from the manufacturer's source. (https://mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release)

@Greg,
The version of firefox installed on my pc is 76.0.1 (64-bit).
No, I only installed firefox browsers. And use regularly with it.

I see this warning every day. But not often each day When found it, do Click the X symbol to exit from that warning message.
I'm worried that information will leak out of my browser? I found it for a while But have just asked you here.

Hi @sector,

I have Firefox 76.0.1 on my PC and I am not able to reproduce this error message at the moment. Do you also have a AV/anti-malware software on this computer?

If possible, please create a Diagnostics Report from 1Password 7 on your computer, where you see this error:

Sending Diagnostics Reports (Windows)

Attach the Diagnostics Report to an email message addressed to support+windows@agilebits.com and we will take a closer look at what is going on.

You should receive an automated reply from our BitBot assistant with a Support ID number. Please post that number here so we can track down the report and ensure that this issue is dealt with quickly. Thanks!

@Greg ,
Yes, I always have Bitdefender Internet Security 2020 updated to the latest version.
Before I send the diagnostics report, I will try another method.
If it still appears as a warning error, And you only need to get a diagnostic report from me, I'll proceed to send it to.

method#1: 1. delete the old 1password extension in firefox browser.
2. I tried performing a data reset and start over follows.(https://support.1password.com/starting-over/)
3. then reinstall the 1password extension 4.7.5.90, download .xpi file from here. (https://app-updates.agilebits.com/product_history/OPX4)

After completing the above methods#1 , I tried using the 1password extension to fill in each website that I have, still not seeing any error messages, that had previously been seen.
So I will continue to monitor that Is there still an error message about 1Password refused connection from untrusted app: Unknown Browser by Unknown Publisher ?

I would like to know that That error message Is a serious security issue?
I found it for a while, Has the information been leaked out from my browser?

Greg

Hi @sector,

Thank you for the additional info!

The safety and security of your data in 1Password is our top priority. Usually, we show a similar message when 1Password can't verify the browser signature (not all browsers are supported) and in this case we refuse the connection to that browser. Since you use the legitimate browser, the connection is not dropped, but 1Password shows you this message for some reason. We will need to take a closer look at why it happens and the diagnostics report from 1Password 7 on your PC will be really helpful for us in this situation.

Could you please send it over? Thanks in advance!

@Greg ,
I understand, I feel relieved. These error messages will show infrequently. Sometimes it appears when I close the firefox program and restart it.
You say that the cause of this error message is due to some reasons of my pc.
It does not have serious consequences for data security, Because I use the legitimate browser.
However, I will create a diagnostic report And will send it to you.

Should I wait to create a diagnostic report? Until it appeared this error message at that time, right?
