I’ve just switched from Brave to Firefox on Android and so far liking it. There’s one issue though. I use Bitwarden for my credentials & SwiftKey as keyboard. When I go to a website that asks for credentials, the Bitwarden button shows up above my keyboard to unlock my vault, as expected. I click it, unlock with fingerprint, and select the credentials. So far it’s as expected and the same as Brave. However, when I select a credential, it goes back to Firefox, but then refreshes the page; so the credentials are gone. Luckily the credentials then show up above my keyboard as I’ve unlocked the vault, but after some time of inactivity I have to unlock again and the problem reoccurs.

Any idea how to resolve this?

/edit: looks like a long outstanding bug in Firefox, see here https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1807364

    I have the same setup with Firefox and Bitwarden without issue. Do you happen to have Firefox setup for restricted battery usage? Android can be quite aggressive with that.

      That, or a phone without much ram. I very often had similar issues on my previous phone when background apps instantly got killed due to memory constrains

      Thanks, no haven’t set up battery restrictions. Have disabled Miui default battery saver, set to no restrictions, still same issue. It happens only when I go to my vault.
