First use on firefox has issues with autofill/site detection

[IetIesAai]

Steps To Reproduce

Not 100% sure it does this every time, but frequently enough: -fully close browser -unlock Bitwarden plugin via icon by filling i, master password

Expected Result

Bitwarden is unlocked, and is able to autofill logons, correct icons are shown

Actual Result

-bitwarden will show available logons when opened via popup for the current tab, but not display the "number" icon to indicate this -available sites will not be able to auto-filled in by any means (clocking the entry, shortcut, rightclick menu), copy paste works -go to manage extension -disable and re-enable the extension -notice "lock" icon is now shown on the button -enter master password -number of available logins is shown on the icon and auto fill works

Screenshots or Videos

before reloading extension: lock icon, number of logins are missing, autofill not available

after reloading extension: lock icon shown, number of available logins shown, autofill works

• [X] I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.

This indeed seems to be the same issue as described in #10814 (I did search before opening this issue, but the nature of the bug and the large number of autofill related tickets make it hard to find the correct one :-) ), and indeed a reboot triggers it (Though I only see this behaviour on my windows "work" lapop, not on the linux fedora 40 one I am using at home.

I understand it should be solved in the next plugin version? Any idea when that is due?

Should be end of next week

I am also experiencing the "Unable to autofill..." bug on MacOS. In my case it manifests every time Firefox updates, and I've only been able to resolve it by uninstalling/reinstalling the Bitwarden extension after every Firefox update.

seeing this as well. seems to happen anytime firefox is updated to new version :/

disabling extension + renable doesnt fix it. have to restart the browser to make autofill work again.

That comment describes precisely the situation for me:

Closing and then re-opening my browser after reboot does "solve" the issue. .... After I reboot my device I need to do this again.
