    Hello @rloreilly,

    Thanks for writing in!

    Please try to go to 1Password 4 > Preferences > General > Double-click > Open the URL in web browser. After that you will be able to choose the browser you open the link in when you double-click on an item.

    Let me know if it works. Thank you!

    Cheers,
    Greg

    Thank you for responding so quickly. I finally figured it out myself. I has to set the Default Browser in my Operating System first. I tried what you suggested but it automatically opens the default browser that is set up through the Operating System.

    @rloreilly: As Greg mentioned, though, you can choose a different browser than your default, if you'd like. Firefox is my default browser, but I'm able to set 1Password 4 to open in Chrome following Greg's instructions and it works for me. Of course, if you're happy with 1Password using your default browser, no reason to fix something that isn't broken. :chuffed:

    I had the same question. I did as Greg outlinedabove (using 1Password preferences) and it works!

    Thanks for telling us, we'll see if we can improve this to be more clear in a future update, as it is a bit difficult to figure out for the first time.
