I've had to use it for business reasons and would really love to have 1P support there.

  • Hey @austex78704, as said by @Megan in another discussion:

    The version 4 extensions will not work on Tor because it uses a version of Firefox that is just too old.

  • Community Member

    Tor recently came out with version 3.5 of TorBrowserBundle (TBB). Previous versions were based on Firefox 17 ESR, which the 1P version 4 extension does not support. This new TBB version is based on Firefox 24 ESR, and version 4.0.1 of the 1Password extension works... almost. The nice part is that since the 1P extension appears to no longer rely on the helper app, no more kludgy hardlinks are needed between TBB and the default Firefox profile; you just install the 1P 4 extension in TBB and you're done.

    The less-nice part is that currently, TBB isn't signed with a key recognized by Gatekeeper, so trying to autofill leads to the error dialog shown here (at least with the Mac App Store version of 1P which is what I have). I tried with TBB installed in ~/Applications and /Applications, but no dice.

    I suspect until TBB plays nice with Gatekeeper, we'll be cutting and pasting rather than autofilling.

    (Note that the Tor devs are discussing getting an Apple-blessed key so this may end up getting fixed if they go ahead with it).

    Hi all,

    I'm glad to hear that Tor has updated their browser to work from Firefox 24! To make your browsing experience a bit smoother with Tor, @froderick, please go to Preferences > Advanced and uncheck 'Verify browser code signature'. It's a shiny new option to make life easier for users who prefer browsers like Chromium and Tor.

    Please let me know how this works for you :)

    Hi @LosInvalidos,

    I'm sorry to hear that you're not having much luck installing the Firefox extension in the TOR browser. Now, because we don't officially support TOR browser, I may only be of limited help to you here, but I'll do what I can to get you up and running again.

    Now, if you take a look at the 'what might be causing the problem' link, you'll see a support article discussing how 1Password communicates with the browser extension. Please ensure that the browser isn't blocking communication between 1Password and the extension.

    I hope this helps, but please let me know if you're still unable to get the extension behaving properly and we'll investigate further!

    Hi @LosInvalidos,

    From @latteine's post about using Tor/Firefox usage a couple months ago:

    my solution was for a regular Firefox configured to work with Tor as its proxy. I never acually was able to make Tor Browser work with the extension. They introduce a lot of stuff that breaks scripting and cross-app requests (and for a good reason).

    So it's basically easier (and maybe safer) to just copy-paste passwords into Tor Browser if you have to use it.

    I'm not sure that's helpful but wanted to mention it in this discussion.

    Can you begin support of 1P 4 for Tor Browser Bundle please ?

    I appreciate this is not an answer to your question but, just in case you haven't already seen it (sorry if you have!), there's a thread here with some suggestions for use in the meantime.

    Hi @LosInvalidos‌

    I'm sorry that Tor doesn't seem to be working with 1Password for the moment. If we hear anything different, we'll be sure to let you know!

    @stamatgeorge‌, I've merged your thread into this bigger Tor thread.

    At the moment, we do not support the Tor browser yet but anything is possible in the future. I'll add your vote to our tracker that has everybody's votes here as well.

    I would also like to see support for the Tor browser. It is an important business tool and not always used for Dark purposes, believe it or not.

  • Thanks for the feedback, Gary! I will add your vote for this. :)
