Why does the FireFox extension pop-up window look so dire?
Overall 1Password looks good, however curiously the window that pops up when I click the button on FireFox looks really dire and out of place.
I appreciate "dire" is a subjective term, really, I'm saying it is very different from the other 1Password windows which are quite understated. The window for FireFox is like something from the 70s, it really colourful and bright, the icons are different. So I'm wondering if I have things set up correctly?
I do have Safari and Chrome and the extension pop-up windows for those are just fine, normal 1Password windows.
Thank you!

I knew there must be a reason. Thank you for the explanation.

Hey thought_police:
Great question. The Safari extension included with 1Password 7 is a Safari App Extension, and can be included in any app, whether or not it's downloaded from the App Store. 1Password for Safari however is a Safari Web Extension (which is more closely related to 1Password for our other available browsers). Safari Web Extensions can only be distributed through the App Store at this time, so this is why the separate "1Password for Safari" app exists - to contain the extension.

Actually I have liked err loved 1Password for many years. I first started using it when it was called "1Passwrd".
Now I am really liking the new look actually.
Isn't it strange that with 8 a separate app is required for the Safari extension? Why not build that into 8?

Well, I am now up to speed with 1Password. I have 8 and the "in the browser" extensions for the three browsers I use, Safari, Chrome and FireFox. Actually it is all looking good, I've got used to the new look and now I am liking it!

Hi thought_police,
I'm happy to see that the current 1Password in the browser has started to grow on you.
The 1Password classic extension is an older version that doesn't receive updates since 2019. Although it is still working and supporting the 1Password 7 desktop app, its primary purpose is for license users to access their local/standalone vaults.
On the other hand, the current 1Password in the browser has continuous development and improved functionality compared to the classic version. Therefore, I'd strongly suggest you switch to the current 1Password in the browser.
Here's the link to get 1Password – Password Manager - Chrome Web Store
A quick note here, the 1Password for Safari extension is built for 1Password 8 for Mac, and it won't integrate with 1Password 7 for Mac.
Suppose you're interested. Here's a link to download the: 1Password 8 for Mac Early Access 🥰 — 1Password Support Community and the link to download 1Password for Safari on the App Store.

I'm getting used to the new extension now actually. I retract my reference to it as "dire" now I'm thinking of it as "disco".
Anyway what matters really is that there is nothing wrong. I guess I just have to update the extension in Chrome and Safari and then it will be the new disco extension as well. So there will be interface continuity in a disco kind of a way!

Hey thought_police thanks for getting back to me 🙂
The extension that you have installed in Chrome is the older 'Classic' extension, whereas the Firefox one is the newer browser extension.
I'm sorry to hear if the newer interface isn't quite what you expected. I'm more than happy to pass your feedback along to the team here. Let me know!

Hi Paul
Chrome extension: 4.7.5.90
FireFox extension: 2.3.2I can't actually get the number for Safari, all it says is 7.9.4 which of course is the version of 1Password.
Anyway Chrome and Safari both have the interface that I am used to whereas FireFox has, what I am now thinking is a newer interface which is a bit disco.
So I am wondering if I need to update the extensions in Chrome and Safari or something. I always install extension upgrades so I don't know why there is this inconsistency.
