Are you using multiple profiles? Try using the add-on manager to remove the older beta, restart FF5 and then reinstall. I have another thread running on this.

No multiple profiles. Yes I had removed it manually first. I was unable to find another thread so I posted as follow up to this one to confirm I had seen the same behavior. If you can direct me to the other thread I will follow there.Flag 0 -
Hi juju12,
I'm sorry for the trouble here, at the moment 1Password for Windows doesn't support Firefox 5, it turns out that Mozilla have changed the way extensions needed to be compiled and so our fantastic Windows developer, Stefan, is having to update our current addon to work with this.
We hope to have this fixed soon, but I honestly don't have a timeframe for when this will be available, so for now, as much as I hate to suggest users downgrade to an older browser, Firefox 4 would be your best option or switch to Google Chrome (for now).
Sorry that's not the answer you wanted, but please do watch this space for updates.

Hello,
my 1Password does not work with Firefox 5?
Is there a solution?

Hi hasekin,
At the moment, no, our Windows developer is currently working on getting 1Password for Windows working with Firefox 5, but we don't have a timeframe for exactly when the update will be available.
Sorry I don't have a better answer right now.Flag 0 -

Just some curiosity from a frustrated user but how many resources did you put towards keeping the windows version current and running versus getting support for Lion (an operating system that has not even been released yet)? I am a loyal user of 1password and if you check my purchase history you will see that I own multiple mac licenses as well as PC licenses (not to mention the countless people that I pushed to purchase your product). Not having support for the largest computing platform and arguably the most used web browser is just frustrating.

Hi Dave,
First of all, I'm really sorry you're frustrated, I can completely understand your position.
1Password for Mac and Windows have separate development teams, so the resources used on supporting Mac OS X Lion would not have been used on Windows development as this work is being done by our 1Password for Mac team. I can assure you that we value 1Password for Windows as highly as we do 1Password for Mac and we want our users on both platforms to have the best possible experience.
As I mentioned, Stefan is looking into the issues right now and we hope to have Firefox 5 support for Windows soon, we're not happy that we're leaving our Windows users behind here. It turns out that what should have been a simple update to the extension turned into something more complex due to the changes Mozilla have made to how extensions have to be compiled for the new versions of Firefox. This means that Stefan is having to work on a way to support both Firefox 4 and 5 within 1Password for Windows as he needs to recompile the Firefox extension for Firefox 5 which from my understanding means it can't be a universal Firefox 3, 4 and 5 addon.
I know it's frustrating to wait for applications to be updated, but please do bare with us while Stefan gets 1Password for Windows ready for Firefox 5. We'll keep you updated here on the forums as to when there's a new build available.
Thanks for everyone's patience, we do appreciate it.Flag 0 -

phirst,
Thanks for the kind words!
Stefan deserves all the credit. He's pumped out two fixes today alone!
The guy is a machine!
Cheers!

First off, I'd like to thank Stefan, Agile, and everybody who works there for a great product. 1Password has really taken a load off of my brain; I can now dedicate resources to remembering more important things.
Secondly, why would anybody upgrade their software (OS or application) without checking to see if the key components they depend on are compatible? Not all of Microsoft's own software is compatible with Windows 7 when first released, why would a third-party vendor be held to stricter standards?
Being an early adopter means that you are willing to help the developer with bugs or that they've introduced a critical component/fix that you need.
Anyway, I understand a person's frustration, but let's be a little more constructive instead of venting.

Hello zerotech and welcome to the Forums!
Thank you for your kind words!
Beta testing is a different world, and for the uninitiated, it can be a frustrating process. However, we each have to experience it for a first time.
Thankfully, you appear to understand the fact that bugs are expected, and that the value of beta testing lies in the reporting of these bugs by users. Otherwise, companies would just test the software internally. Why alienate users?
I appreciate your comments, and I look forward to seeing you around the Forums!
Cheers!
Brandt
P.S. Another kudo for Stefan! I think you've got enough members to start a fan club!Flag 0 -

FYI, it's working at my work place where I have 5 installed. Just downloaded it for FF 4 here at home and no luck. I'll move on to FF 5 but thought I'd share my experience with 4 before I do so. Thanks for a great product.

Our extension should work in Firefox 4, too. It has been doing so for the last 3 months.Flag 0 -
I'd also gently remind folks that we confirm compatibility with only the current non-Beta versions of the [url="http://help.agilebits.com/1Password_Windows/requirements.html"]supported browsers[/url].
Though 1Password may continue to work with older versions (like Firefox 4.x) for some time, we don't test it with them. We simply don't have the resources to do that.
Thanks for understanding!Flag 0
