Hello rrustema! 👋

I'm sorry that you're having trouble saving password using 1Password in Firefox, it sounds like the communication between the desktop app and the browser extension may have stopped working. Try the following:

  1. Open and unlock the 1Password for Mac desktop app.
  2. Click on 1Password next to the  in the menu bar.
  3. Click Settings.
  4. Click Browser.
  5. Make sure that "Connect with 1Password in the browser" is on.

Then in the browser:

  1. Open your browser.
  2. Right-click on the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar and click Settings.
  3. Make sure that "Integrate this extension with the 1Password desktop app" is on.

Then try to create and save a new password using 1Password. If that still doesn't work then do you see a green dot in the browser settings page? Or a different coloured dot and an error message?
