Cannot enable biometrics in Firefox after upgrading to 2023.2.1 (solved)

[Fefniir (James A Williams)]

OS: Windows 11 22H2
Browser: Firefox 110.0

Bitwarden
Extension: 2023.2.1
Desktop: 2023.2.1

I cannot enable biometric login with the recently upgraded firefox extension. Keeps returning “Browser integration is not setup”.

Desktop

1. Allow browser integration box is checked
2. Require verification for browser integration box is checked

Browser

1. Extension is not set to run in private windows
2. Extension is set to exchange messages with programs other than Firefox

I’m an idiot sometimes…

I fixed the issue by following the instructions here:

Can't enable browser extension biometrics

Thank you! After digging online for days a variation of your solution got it to work for me. For everyone struggling with enabling biometrics for Bitwarden in your browser, here’s how I did it (all credit to @mdeherder): Installed Bitwarden (current version 2022.6.1) Logged into Bitwarden Enabled Biometrics (Windows Hello) Enabled Browser integration Installed the Browser extension (in my case Firefox, but it also worked on Edge and Chrome) Logged into the browser extension Windows Key + R op…

However I missed one small but very important step: I forgot to remove the quotation marks when entering the default value for the com.8bit.bitwarden key. As soon as I removed the quotation marks from the key value data, the biometric worked just fine!
