I refreshed Firefox and the problem is solved.

Step by step if you need it:

  1. Save your open tabs if you want to retain them:
  • Right click on any tab and “Select all tabs”
  • Right click on any tab and select “Bookmark tabs” (maybe name the group with today’s date)
  1. Save all your bookmarks and preferences:
  • Create a Firefox account if you don’t have one
  • Ensure your Firefox is logged in to your Firefox account
  • Ensure sync is configured to save everything you want to keep. I sync everything except passwords.
  • Ensure sync is on and check sync has completed
  • Click ‘sync now’ under your account to be sure.
  1. Refresh Firefox:
  • Exit Firefox
  • Go to Windows add/remove programs
  • Find Firefox and click uninstall
  • Select the “Refresh” option
  • Let it do its thing
  1. Firefox should restart
  • There is no need to import anything from a previous browser. Select “Skip this step”
  • Be patient while it re-installs your extensions and sync’s everything
  • Sign-in again to Bitwarden and test autofill on one website you have saved
  • I found the best success to exit Firefox and open it again at this point
  • Find your saved tabs and choose ‘open all tabs’ (or just one you want)

Trust this helps someone out!
