Firefox extension not updating

crazycaveman

I saw the new update for the extension to 2.21.1 on my Edge browser but didn't notice the new behavior in Firefox. Looking into it, I noticed my Firefox beta extension is still running 2.17.0. I removed it and reinstalled using the link from to Download Firefox Add-On, but it still installs that same version. Is there an updated beta version or should I switch to the standard release version (currently 2.20.2)?

Hello @crazycaveman! 👋

Thank you for the question and I'm sorry for the confusion. The latest beta release for Firefox is indeed 2.17.0 and the team is working to get a new beta update out as soon as possible.

For the time being, you can switch to using the stable release (currently at 2.20.2): 1Password: Password Manager – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)

I hope that helps.

Thanks for the info! Is that generally the case, that beta doesn't include the stable releases so I should switch to the stable releases between beta releases? It seems like Chrome based browser beta extensions are kept up-to-date with stable releases when those supersede the beta versions, I just expected something similar for Firefox.

Thanks for the reply. Usually, beta updates for Firefox are released ahead of the stable release as they are for other browsers. There was a temporary issue with releasing updates for the both the stable and beta channels for Firefox, the team has resolved the issue for the stable channel and I expect that the issue will be resolved for the beta channel soon as well so that an update can be released.

For now, switching to the stable version is the best option if you'd like to take advantage of the latest bug fixes and features.

Hopefully we can see a new Firefox beta version soon. I really like the concept if the new auto-save/auto-fill and try as I might to switch to a chromium browser, its not quite the right tool for me.

Thank you for all the hard work.
