1Password Team1Password writes some necessary files (including settings) to Firefox's local storage, so the following may affect its settings and the general functionality of the extension:
- If clearing cache every time the browser closes, it may delete the extension's settings.
- If clearing cookies every time the browser closes, it may delete the extension's settings.
- If "Always use private browsing" is turned on, it may prevent the extension from initializing and make it non-operational.
To to answer your three questions:
1. Yes, that is correct, 1Password in the browser is the only way to generate Masked Emails. 1Password Classic is no longer being developed and 1Password in the browser is the way forward.
2. If Firefox has not been configured with any of the history clearing settings enabled as above, no, you do not have to sign in to 1Password in the browser on every launch.
3. Every new sign in (which in the case of clearing history as above will be every launch of Firefox) does result in a notification email to alert you that a new sign in has occurred.
