Getting the wrong extension for Safari
Because of futzing with multiple OSs somewhere along the line my Safari extension disappeared. It's not just switched off it's gone. So I went to download it. Asked for betas. Got to the page to install for Safari and clicked download. If I double-click the extension it loads in the Safari Technology Preview. Is that expected?
1Password Version: 7b11
Extension Version: 4.7.1
OS Version: 10.13.4
Sync Type: Not Provided

Hi @TomWolsky,
If I double-click the extension it loads in the Safari Technology Preview. Is that expected?
That's what's expected when Safari Technology Preview is your default browser. If you want Safari to open it, right-click the downloaded extension file and choose Safari in the Open With submenu of the context menu. Similar to this (with Safari as my default browser):
I hope that helps. :)

Odd. Safari is set as the default browser in General System Prefs.
When I started to write the message I was going to report something else. When I first downloaded from the Safari page I got a .crx file that opened in Opera. The next time I downloaded, while I was writing the message, I got the .safariext file that opened STP.

Happened again
The Click link may be wrong.

Oddly I'm seeing the same behavior, 1Password's extension disappeared sometime between last night and this morning, I tried to download the beta extension and for some reason it tried to open in Safari Technology Preview — not my default Browser, Safari is and this is the only time I've ever had something open it instead of Safari — and unfortunately, even when I do open it with Safari itself it does not install the extension.
It gets as far as asking me if I trust the developer but when I confirm it nothing happens, no button, no listing in the safari extensions preference tab, nothing.
I'm guessing this is related to bundling the extension internally with 1Password but at the moment, I have no way of using 1Password in Safari.

I got mine to work after right-clicking and selecting Safari. After the Trust button it loaded in the extensions preferences.

Yeah, somehow I missed the pinned thread about this on my first pass of the forums and once I restarted my Mac the extension installed fine. It's still odd that it's loading in Safari Technology Preview though.

@TomWolsky Yep, I have seen this bizarre behaviour too (downloading the wrong file). I posted about it here https://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/comment/429049#Comment_429049

Hi folks,
Please try using this link directly, from within Safari:

Had difficulties to get any of the Safari extensions work with Beta 12, but now I managed to get it running. No idea why and how. Any ETA for the final version?
Please don't get me wrong. I know 1P7 is still Beta. But I purchased the license almost 2 months ago and there are still Safari extension issues with every new seed. Is it Apple and their weird .safariextz architecture?

As soon as all of the issues are fixed. ;) In all seriousness... we don’t pre-announce launches until they’re ready to be released. We’ve always tried to put ourselves in a position to under promise and over deliver.

We have had some particularly challenging issues with Safari due to an attempt to move to Safari’s new Safari App Extension (“SAE”) architecture. Unfortunately that just ended up requiring a lot more work than we were going to be able to put in before the 7.0 launch, and so we’ve reverted to the previous extension framework. We will resume efforts on SAE after 7.0 launches.
