Thanks for the feedback! 1Password in the browser requires the ability to maintain its own database, which "Never remember history" prevents it from doing by design. That being said, I've passed along your comment and suggestions to the team.

As a workaround, if you want to use 1Password in the browser while also preventing your browsing history from sticking around, you can set custom history settings in Firefox:

  1. Open Firefox.
  2. Paste about:preferences#privacy into the address bar and press Enter.
  3. Scroll down to "Cookies and Site Data" and turn on "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed".
  4. Scroll down to "History". For "Firefox will" choose "Use custom settings for history".
  5. Turn off: "Always use private browsing mode", "Remember browsing and download history", and "Remember search and form history".
  6. Turn on: "Clear history when Firefox closes".

These settings will allow 1Password to continue working in Firefox and your history/cookies will be cleared whenever you close or restart Firefox. 🙂
