How to prevent Firefox on Android from refreshing when switching to Bitwarden for the password?

Firefox@lemmy.ml – 73 points – 1 years ago

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'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.
