flatpak Firefox integration

Has anyone been able to use 1Password desktop app integration (from a .deb, not Flatpak) with a Firefox/Chromium installed from Flatpak? Based on https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/584521/how-to-setup-firefox-and-keepassxc-in-a-flatpak-and-get-the-keepassxc-browser-ad, it seems like this should work since 1Password also uses a socket in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, but when I run flatpak run --filesystem=xdg-run/1Password-BrowserSupport.sock org.mozilla.firefox it doesn't synchronize. I feel like I'm just missing something simple here.

1Password Version: Not Provided
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Debian testing

    I see. Does the integration work in Firefox and/or 1Password from Snap?

    This actually won't be possible at this time. Both 1Password and the browser require the same system calls to store data in the OS kernel keyring, and Flatpak currently doesn't allow those. We are tracking an https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/4281 for it.
