Ctrl+Shift+L Issue When Using Firefox Containers

Version (First Noticed)

Maybe it’s unrelated to the 2023.3.0 release, but I don’t recall experiencing this behavior prior to the extension update (end of March 2023).

Issue

If my vault is locked and I try to use CTRL+SHIFT+L to auto-fill the password while in a container tab, the Bitwarden extension loads a new tab, in the current container, and asks for the Master Password (instead of the PIN) to unlock. When I enter the password, it unlocks for the tab, but not the extension. The tab provides no way to auto fill and if I close it and try CTRL+SHIFT+L it starts all over (asking me for the master password) instead of auto-filling.

The unlock tab also displays a warning about “private mode” which is disabled, but probably the container tab just knows it cannot access the non-container data from the extension?

Non-Containers Function Properly

I opened a non-container tab, and it seems to work (unlocks the extension and auto-fills) after entering the PIN in the new tab. (Sometimes it loads multiple Bitwarden tabs, which is also new behavior.)

Question(s)

Has anyone noticed this?
How can I inform the Bitwarden team?
