It’s time for the Return of the 1Password! Except in our version of this bad pun there are no cute, spear-wielding woodland teddy bears, just a powerful password and identity manager with a [url="http://blog.agilebits.com/2011/08/we-have-big-improvements-thanks-to-big-new-1password-and-extension-updates/"]great new browser extension[/url] for Firefox 6 on Mac!

That’s right, Mozilla quietly released [url="http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/"]Firefox 6[/url], and 1Password is ready for it on the Mac! If you want it right now, you’ll need to:[list]

[*]Make sure you have the latest 1Password by going to 1Password > Check for Updates

[*]Update to Firefox 6

[*][url="https://agilebits.com/extensions/mac/firefox.html?beta=n"]Open this page in Firefox[/url] and follow its instructions to install the new Firefox extension

[*]Restart Firefox

[/list]

So what do Firefox 6 users get with our new extension? I’m glad you asked![list]

[*]A [b]much more useful slice of 1Password[/b] in your browser

[*]An [b]all-new gorgeous, flexible interface[/b] that fits much better into the way you work, whether you’re a mouse jockey or a keyboard shortcut ninja

[*]A [url="http://help.agilebits.com/1Password3/keyboard_shortcuts.html"]bunch[/url] of [b]new keyboard shortcuts[/b], including Tab and Shift-Tab to navigate between your Logins, Credit Cards, and Identities, and Right/Left arrows for viewing item details or getting back out to the list of all your items

[*]A more [b]visual way to browse, edit, and create new items[/b]. You can view key details of each item, copy them to the clipboard, and edit all without dropping what you’re doing to launch the main 1Password app

[*][b]Fast, type-as-you-go search[/b] built-in for all item types

[*]A [b]new Settings panel[/b] built into the extension for toggling things like Universal Unlock (to also unlock the 1Password app) and AutoSubmit

[*]and much more!

[/list]

Please note that the new Firefox extension is only supported on Firefox 6 and above, due to some of the technical complexities between Mozilla’s previous releases. But if you’re using Firefox 4 or 5, don’t worry: you can still install the proper extension from our [url="http://help.agilebits.com/1Password3/legacy_versions.html"]legacy page[/url] until you’re ready to upgrade to Firefox 6. We’re also working on adding support for our new extension to 1Password for Windows, so stay tuned there.



But for you Firefox 6 users out there, [url="http://forum.agilebits.com/index.php?/forum/14-1password-for-mac-browser-extensions/"]let us know what you think in the extension forum[/url]!
