As the title says, Firefox autofile using Ctrl + Shift + L has suddenly stopped working for all sites I have tried. Hitting the keystrokes results in a brief “working” circle on my cursor, but nothing is ever filled.
So I’m at a loss as to why this has stopped working.
@tdawg90 Welcome to the forum!
Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce your issue, either in version 122.0 or in version 124.0.1.
When you go to “Manage Extension Shortcuts” in your Firefox browser, what has been set as the shortcut for “Auto-fill the last used login for the current website” for the Bitwarden extension?
P.S. I like your forum avatar — looks like you’re my evil twin! 
It was Ctrl + Shift + L, as usual. After a change to Ctrl + Shift + 8, the autofill works. But I cannot enter Ctrl + Shift + L again. The box tells me “Enter a letter” every time, though it briefly displays the shortcut properly
That is very strange, but it seems unlikely that the issue is related to Bitwarden itself. What operating system are you using?
I have been having a similar issue with the verification code or “totp auto copy to clipboard” not working… It worked fine a week or two ago, but stopped working at all recently. As you can imagine, going into the extension and finding the totp field, copying, going back to the webpage, clicking to select the field, then finally pasting the content, is a substantial pain by comparison. I am using linux, if that helps… (lol! i use ubuntu btw)
Just Windows 10. I’m generally in agreement, this probably isn’t a Bitwarden problem. My best guess would be something else has decided to start utilizing this combination, but as far as I can tell, Windows has no method to tell a user what programs are registered/listen to a shortcut.
Your issue is unrelated. Open Settings > Options in the browser extension, and re-enable the option “Copy TOTP automatically”. Recent updates have been clearing this setting.
The only thing I can think of (just to possibly get some additional clues) is to right-click any app in the Start menu and select More > Open file location, then right-click the corresponding shortcut link in the File Explorer and select “Properties”, and open the “Shortcut” tab. Put the cursor in the field named “Shortcut key”, and type Ctrl+Shift+L, then click OK. Can you launch the app with this shortcut (or with any other specified key combination)?
A post was split to a new topic: Problems with auto-filling of identities
This is what I did to fix my autofill not autofilling. I went to Firefox - Extensions - Manage Extension Shortcuts (the gear in the upper right corner) then in the Auto-fill the last used login for the current website it does show Ctrl+Shift+L I went and trashed (deleted) the old one, then clicked in the Type a Shortcut field and then added Ctrl+Shift+L and voila! it started working again!
Running Windows 11
Firefox 125.0.2 (64-bit)
Bitwarden Ext Version
2024.4.1
I am having the same problem. When I open the web page, I open the extension, select the appropriate login information, I get a message that says:
If I press Ctrl-Sft-L, nothing happens.
Windows 11 Pro 22635.4145
Firefox 130.0 64-bit
Bitwarden 2024.8.1
This is happening with multiple sites.
Same issue - autofill isn’t working for any site. Ctrl+Shift+L does nothing, I get the red ‘Unable to autofill…’ message when I use the button in the extension menu.
Firefox 130.0
Bitwarden extension: 2024.8.1

Same problem here - only more so. The Firefox extension keeps logging me out every time I close or restart the browser and the badge counter is not showing.
Windows 11 Home 23H2 22631.4037, Firefox 130.0, Bitwarden 2024.8.1
It sometimes works after multiple restarts, but that is very annoying and time-consuming!
I am using exactly the same settings on Waterfox G6.0.19 on the same machine with no problems.
Same issue, Fedora 40 Linux. Firefox 129.0.2 (64-bit), Bitwarden 2024.8.1 using the bitwarden.com (premium) service.
Has stopped working 1/2 months ago but been too busy to report it, I work around it using copy/paste.
Same issue here. BitWarden version: 2024.8.1, Firefox version 130.0 (64-bit) on Windows 10 Enterprise (version 10.0.19045).
Same issue. Firefox 130, Bitwarden 2024.8.1. Autofill doesn’t work on any website, including Bitwarden Community forums. It worked fine last week.
EDIT: I went to the Extensions settings and manually updated Bitwarden. Why doesn’t it auto-update? It seems to have fixed itself after installing 2024.8.2. I’ll observe if it stays fixed.
Bitwarden has now auto-updated to 2024.8.2, but still happening on Firefox. And now - as of this morning - this has spread to Waterfox G6.0.19 as well. Autofill not working, logged out and have to reset with master password, then restart the browser. I have vault timeout set to never on both browsers - and have not changed any settings on Waterfox - so WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?
Have now reverted to version 2024.7.1, which has instantly fixed all three issues on both Firefox and Waterfox!
Mine updated to 2024.8.2 automatically this morning and autofill seems to be working again for me. At least on first website I tested it on. (One that it was failing on yesterday.)
Had the same problem on firefox 129.0.2. Downgrading to 2024.7.1 fixed the issue
