Now that you are aware of the common causes that could lead to Bitwarden autofill not working in the Firefox issue, let us turn our attention towards how to resolve it. Quick Tip: A quick and low-effort way to get rid of this issue is to use a different browser.

You can install the Bitwarden Opera extension directly from the official Opera add-on store.
How can I fix Bitwarden autofill not working in Firefox issue?
1. Uninstall other password managers
It is very important to ensure that you are not using multiple password managers in the Firefox browser. If you are using multiple password managers, then this could conflict with the performance of each other. Many important functions, such as autofill, won’t work, as the browser may get confused about which password manager to use for the specific task. So, if you are using multiple password managers, then uninstall all of them except Bitwarden, and make sure Bitwarden is the only password manager installed.
2. Update Firefox
3. Clear cookies and cache
4. Check if the extension shortcut is missing
5. Check if the extension is enabled or not
6. Manually trigger autofill function
This isn’t a permanent solution but can work wonders in case the autofill feature isn’t working automatically. If nothing works, then you can simply check out other password managers that have the same autofill feature and get rid of the issue. Let us know in the comments below which one of the above solutions helped you resolve the Bitwarden autofill not working in the Firefox problem.
