by Dave Name, 8 months agoHard pass on this quirky, annoying, and badly-coded app.
For instance, if you have the audacity to scale up your display, then look out - the annoyance factor will be ramped up by a factor of 10.
The app doesn't play nice with display upscaling. It doesn't allow for scrolling (or rearranging) within itself to get to other saved websites - it has a popout feature to do so that itself functions badly. So if you utilize that function, and go to a saved website, the app can block the login info, rendering the whole exercise useless.
And getting the app to close (or not close, as the case may be) so you can get to your desktop when closing FF provides further annoyance that shouldn't be the case if it was properly coded.
I've only gotten this thing to actually work for ONE website (i.e., where it filled in the password automatically), and that was before that website disappeared in the app and I had to use the aforementioned popout feature...that blocked the website login page.
I could go on and on about the annoying quirks I've encountered with this thing (on Win 10 computer), but the main obvious problem is that it is badly coded/badly designed from an intuitive, common-sense perspective. It's as if the designers didn't even test out its features for functionality.
It is astounding to me that this thing has received any favorable reviews from the likes of folks who should know better, such as PC Mag.
If this is the best out there, then I'm glad I haven't come across the worst.

- Rated 1 out of 5by TRR, 2 hours agoI've used this for years but recently (Oct 2025) having the extension enabled is now making typing in text fields in Firefox slow down noticeably, like it'll often show 2 or 3 letters behind what I'm typing. Disabling the extension fixes the performance problems but then I can't use Bitwarden :(

- Rated 1 out of 5by Yaestro, 4 days agoSlows down YouTube even if autofill is disabled. Slowing down browsers (even Chrome) for over a year. Will try an alternative.
- Rated 1 out of 5by frxrnk, 4 days agoThe add-on has massive performance issues and slows down pages a lot, especially if they have many dynamic elements, which is now very common. It often causes freezes and sluggish animations/scrolling.
I was hoping it would stop the constant scanning for form fields on page changes by disabling "Show autofill suggestions in form fields", so it only does its scan when autofill is requested with the shortcut or from extension panel, but it made no difference.
Only excluding the domains worked, but then why have the add-on at that point. Disabling it significantly improved general navigation.
I hope they address the add-ons performance concerns soon, as they have one of the better products out there. - Rated 5 out of 5by iz, 6 days ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19528584, 12 days agoPoorly coded, booting the latest edition of firefox as of 2025/10/17 opens multiple copies of the app asking you to log in to your passwords, doesn't detect settings well, doesn't detect autofill in firefox is off and keeps asking to turn it off, pretty janky rubbish, I expect americans coded this

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 9999798, 23 days agoWas working great for years but now it doesn't want to auto-fill the ID and PW with almost all sites. I have a vault with about 100 sites. Very annoying to have to manually copy and paste the ID and PW. Tried various settings including turning off Firefox passwords features.

- Rated 3 out of 5by lrmr, a month agoWhat I find absolutely frustrating is the apparent lack of synchronization of access data across different devices. It either doesn’t happen at all or takes days to complete.
It’s really annoying to always have to log in to the web version just to access the most current and complete version of your login data.
A manual “Synchronize” button would be extremely helpful! - Rated 5 out of 5by danilo, a month ago
