How to prevent Firefox on Android from refreshing when switching to Bitwarden for the password?
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
Weird. I run the same setup as you (Firefox on Android with Bitwarden and SwiftKey) and I don't think I've ever experienced that. How much RAM does your device have? Do you have a lot of other apps running? It sounds like it is purging the page from memory when you're switching away.
I'm not OP but I have the same problem with a 4gb Ram S8 and Android 10 (custom rom, although the same thing was happening on stock).
I already checked all the battery saver settings and it's set to "Never suspend".
I have a similar setup. The interesting thing is that never happens with Chrome.
Interesting. I've got a Redmi Note 10 pro with 6Gb and zero issues with other apps. Also disabled Miui battery saver. Stock ROM, miui.
Got 6Gb RAM so should be okay. Also disabled Miui battery saver, no difference. Brave and Chrome work fine.. Strange ay!?
