Has this not been fixed after 4 years? I'm having this issue in Firefox—there's an Edit button, but it does nothing.
Edit: The problem was that the item had not yet synced. - Former Member
Thank you for the update @MrMorden!

The Edit button is definitely there now.

I have an Edit button. When I click it, it opens 1password in the browser. Where I can edit the item, but not in actual app.
But I do notice that my app says "1Password isn't able to communicate with 1Password in the browser due to an issue spawning the helper process."
I'm running 1Password 8 Mac 8.2.2-19.BETA on an up to date macOS Big Sur 11.5.2 (m1 if that matters) and my browser is Firefox 91.0.2. 1Password extension is version 2.0.5.

Hi @MrMorden, if you don't have an edit button we definitely want to know about it!
Here's the workflow as I understand it:
- Open your browser and unlock 1Password for Firefox by entering your account password
- Select an item and click "edit" at the bottom of the window
- The item should open in edit mode
That's if everything is working properly. If it's not, or if you see something different, be sure to share that with us and we'll investigate. We have already opened an issue into the improper behavior of the edit button as these folks have described earlier. đź‘Ť

I don't even have the edit button in Firefox (91.0.2, 64-bit Linux x64).

The bug isn't just Firefox, because I see the same problem in Safari as well. So this probably is an issue with the actual 1P 8 app. Seems a bit odd, though, to be that, since these extensions are supposed to function even if the main app is not installed, I believe. So why editing is broken when the main app is present is weird.

Thanks for the heads up, Ashokleyland and @HeyNoah. I'll pass the report along to our development team. They'll take a look as soon as possible.
