My previous comment was about allowing the 1Password extension to "Run in Private Windows". This is completely (AFAIK; I'm not familiar with the internals of Firefox) separate from the global (affecting the entire browser, not per-extension) "History" setting. As I'm sure you're aware, one determines whether or not an extension can run in private browsing windows and the other (specifically the "Always use private browsing mode" checkbox which is equivalent to "Never remember history") forces the entire browser to constantly be in private browsing mode (or at least something equivalent).
Here are screenshots of the two settings, as they display on my desktop computer:
Run in Private Windows
History/Always use private browsing mode
As you can see, I do not have "Always use private browsing mode" enabled (and never have). My "History" settings are the same between my computers.
My previous statement, slightly reformulated: I would like to be able to use the 1Password extension (in normal browser windows) without allowing it to "Run in Private Windows". I can't imagine the "Run in Private Windows" permission is required to access localStorage
, but I may very well be wrong.
