backslash for extension shortcut on Mac

Greetings,

I have been using ⌥⌘\ (command + option + backslash) as an extension shortcut for 1 password (versions 6 and 7) for many years, but since I have updated the app to 1pass8; Firefox now does not allow the use of the backslash for the extension shortcut. When I attempt to change that shortcut, a small popup window says, “Choose a letter”.

I am still able to use the shortcut on another computer, but the app is a previous version: 1pass7. I spoke to 1pass tech department and they said its a Firefox limitation.

Is there any way I can get that extension to work for this app again?

Mac Ventura 1password 8 extension Firefox Version 136.0.4

Many thanks,

Pete
