accounts.firefox.com: 1password browser extension doesn't prompt you to autofill saved password

Extension Version: 2.24.2
OS Version: macOS 14.5 (23F79)
Browser: Firefox 127.0.2

Hello, ComfortableMilk4454. Thank you for writing in.
I'm sorry about the trouble. This is a limitation enforced by Mozilla, and it turns off extensions on their domains (their website URLs) by default. I recommend using the drag-and-drop method from the 1Password extension pop-over instead.
- Click the 1Password icon in the browser's toolbar.
- Click and drag your credentials into the fields.
Alternatively, there is a way to bypass this in Firefox by adjusting some options on the
about:config
page; this will enable all extensions on their domains. Here's how.- Open Firefox.
- Paste
about:config
into the address bar and press enter.- You should see a warning page; confirm to proceed
- Paste
extensions.webextensions.restricted
in the search bar and press enter - Click the pencil icon, find
accounts.firefox.com
and delete it.
Here's a screenshot for reference:
After confirming the change, refresh the page of Firefox Accounts, and you should see 1Password working there.
I hope that helps.

thank you for the response. instead of changing about:config can't i just go to my extensions, click on 1password & set "Run on sites with restrictions" to allow?

I've done some testing on my end and couldn't get that option to work in Firefox. Furthermore, I've tried allowing a different extension, but that didn't work either. It sounds like there may be a bug with the
Run on sites with restrictions
option on Firefox.-Evon
