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

This is what the latest comment on the git issue says
Using Beta 114, I confirmed that setting dom.ipc.processPrelaunch.lowmem_mb to 0 MB fixes this issue which seems to happen when there's a memory pressure in the system. I can provide a profile with and without this preference if requested. I don't fully understand how this preference affects memory management when dom.ipc.processPrelaunch.enabled is false. Yet somehow it does.
Does this help at all?
