How to prevent Firefox on Android from refreshing when switching to Bitwarden for the password? (lemmy.nz)

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

I find it got a bit better when I cleaned Firefox's user data and cache. I still get it occasionally, but it's a lot less frequent now.

YMMV of course depending on phone specs, but it worked for me on my mediocre hardware (Moto G Power).
