FireFox Remembers Password

in 1Password in the Browser

When I open Firefox, it unlocks the 1 Password extension with needing to enter the password.
I would think it shouldn't be able to do this, but I'm not able to find the setting to prevent it.
I've checked that I'm running the current versions of both FFox and the extension.
Thanks.

    @mitchr You're right, Firefox shouldn't be able to do this. Do you have the Windows desktop app installed? The lock state is now synchronised between 1Password in the browser and the desktop app. So if you unlock the desktop app and open Firefox, the 1Password extension will unlock automatically.

    Hmmm. I do have the desktop app installed, and when I opened it just now for the first time, it is also unlocked.

    I've noticed some changes in the way the various components work.
    So earlier today, I unlocked 1 Pwd in extension in Brave browser. Does that unlock all the other instances of 1 Pwd (desktop and other browsers)?
    Thanks.

    @mitchr Yes, if the desktop app is installed, the lock state will sync across browsers and the lock after idle timer setting moves to the desktop app: 1Password -> Settings -> Security
