This is what my environment looks like: I am using Firefox (version 109.0) on Ubuntu (version 22.04.1). I installed the 1password extension for Firefox (version 2.5.1). I have allowed the 1Password extension to "Run in Private Windows" (from the Firefox Add-ons Manager).

Description of my issue: In Firefox, there is a Privacy&Security setting that allows you to "Always use private browsing mode". When this setting is enabled, the 1Password extension does not work at all (even if I allowed it to run in private windows). That is, every time I click on the 1Password icon in my browser, an empty browser tab shows up, and nothing more. Instead, if I disable that setting, the extension works correctly.

People are still welcome to ask for help with Extensions here in case other are familiar with the extension and can help or is willing to spend time looking for information to help solve the questions.

Also many Extensions listed at AMO are made by a independent author that may not have much time doing support and or not have a support place like a forum like some extension authors have.
