Website reloads when I use Password Manager

Hello everyone, when I use Firefox as Browser or as Browser in an App (when I open a link in the Email APP as example) I always use a password manager. That means Firefox is open and when I click on auto fill the bitwarden overlay starts and show the passwords. The problem is when I click on the entry and it goes back to firefox the website reloads without the password or sometimes everything is black and I need to refresh the pages. Do you have any ideas how to fix this?

Hi

Are you using the Bitwarden add-on for Firefox for Android?

Yes I do. I just saw that when I switch the app and go back to the website the screen is black as well. So I guess the Password Manager is not the problem but the fact that you exit firefox for a short while is the problem.

I see the topic is open since 2020. Do you think it makes more sense for me to reinstall firefox?
