Just so you're aware, it's a limitation within Firefox and Private mode - not Bitwarden.

```

The Bitwarden browser extension does not completely function in Firefox’s private browsing mode. This is a known issue specific only to Firefox. You will see a message indicating so when you try to open the Bitwarden popup window in a private window. We have discussed the problem with Mozilla, however, they seem unable to fix it so that extensions like Bitwarden can function entirely in private mode. ```

As I mentioned, this stopped working after Mozilla deprecated, and subsequently removed an API due to security concerns. When viewing the docs for said API, they have clearly outlined an alternative mechasmin. They have still stuck to blaming Mozilla.

An individual raised a working PR to fix this that got reviewed and some changes were requested. The individual must have abandoned the PR or something because it hasn't moved since. I would have expected Bitwarden devs to pick this up and get it merged, and address the PR changes themselves since OP isn't addressing the issues.

"By contrast, I was a 1Password customer at the time this change got introduced, and they'd pushed out a fix not long after."
