Thanks for the reply. While in private browsing mode, or when using "Never remember history", Firefox prevents extensions from accessing and saving data to the local database, which 1Password relies on in order to function properly.

1Password in the browser works entirely in your browser and can be used even if you don't use the desktop app. The old "classic" extension was more limited and completely relied on the desktop app for data which meant that it didn't need to save the data itself.

Another option, if you don't want to change the "Never remember history" setting is to use Universal Autofill to fill your passwords instead of the browser extension: Use Universal Autofill in apps and browsers on your Mac
