Ah, so it isn't just me. I had noticed this myself recently.

And I thought to myself that Bitwarden was aggressively forcing users a pro-security measure.

Yes, it's been going on for a while and it's really annoying.

10 days ago:

We have identified the root cause of this issue and the fix will be included in the next release of the Firefox extension. I can't commit at this point to a date for that release, but the issue has been identified and will be included.

I remember waiting for a similar fix in the past and it took Firefox ~2 weeks to verify the new version.

I thought it's a feature.

The best bugs are undocumented features.

I noticed that this morning for the first time. I was wondering why this happened. Had the Ctrl shift L stop working too.

[–] Yerbouti@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 months ago

Weird, not happening on any of my machines , mac and Linux.

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 months ago

I think this bug also hoses my Firefox unless I have Bitwarden disabled.

[–] notnotmike@programming.dev 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I noticed this and the fact that Ctrl + Shift + L no longer autofills. That was my favorite feature but for some reason it has stopped working

[–] flux@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 months ago

That was a Firefox bug, based on one comment in the Bitwarden isue tracker . It should be fixed now in Firefox 116.

Had that happen a couple times over the last months. De-and-Reactivating the plugin worked for me

[–] notnotmike@programming.dev 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Damn, you gave me hope but it didn't work :( I'll have to do some searching for a solution. Up until now I've just accepted it as an annoyance

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 4 months ago

could also check if the shortcut is still set. I've seen people who had that suddenly reset to blank for some reason.

It was a bit annoying to fix, in the end. But the feature itself is still there, just a bit buggy when an update is distributed

That’s pretty much the main reason I migrated to proton pass… was bugging me for a year I think
