Can’t wait for the fix!
I’m using the browser extension in chrome on macos
Version: 2025.4.0
SDK: ‘main (50f5a17)’
Server version: 2025.4.3
this aberrant behavior started for me after update a few days ago and is very frustrating! thank you for getting on it so fast!
It’s definitely not fast.. I’m waiting a month already.
There is evidently a release planned for May 29.

Whenever you clicked on the bitwarden vault (extension) your mouse cursor / field for search would automatically be active however it’s not anymore.
Is this intended? Do you guys want it back? Because I really feel it was a good thing to have.
@Silverjohn I moved your post into the corresponding thread… as you can see, a fix is already planned.
PS: If I see it correctly on GitHub, the fix should be included in extension version 2025.5.0, which already was released to the browser stores.
PPS: Mozilla just (May 23) “released” extension version 2025.5.0, but I think MacOS/Safari is still on 2024.4.2. As soon as the update arrives there as well, I will remove “current bug” from the title of this thread.
The browser extensions release v2025.5.0 was released yesterday (Release Browser v2025.5.0 · bitwarden/clients · GitHub) so I guess we have to wait until the listings propagate on the different extension stores. Looking at the code for that tag, I can confirm the pull request they talked about that supposedly fixes this is included in this release. I wonder how long this approval process usually takes…
edge typically updates in “hours”
chrome typically updates in “days”.
firefox typically updates in “weeks”.
Of course, YMMV.

Thanks for that overview! I didn’t know, that Opera also has it’s own store.

Firefox - “weeks”?!! 
Sheesh!
Yeah, and some good news / bad news: recently, it was surprisingly only a few days… but also recently, it was well over a month… 
(though, both outliers – “a few weeks” is the usual timeframe…)
I just now received 2025.5.0 in Firefox.

Did I hallucinate this morning, or is the problem fixed (Win11)?
I would have commented on the following thread:
…however as an infrequent visitor I’m not permitted to post twice within the same thread.
You are right - the problem is fixed with extension version 2025.5.0.
However, Mozilla didn’t “release” this version yet, so Firefox users are still on 2025.4.0 at the moment. I planned to change the title of the other thread, when every user can get the update to 2025.5.0.

Presuming Bitwarden sticks to the defaults, the Manufacturer requirements are:
- Entering at least 5 topics
- Reading at least 30 posts
- Spend a total of 10 minutes reading posts
Spend two more minutes “reading posts”, and this restriction should be lifted.

This seems fair, it is a shame that Bit Warden is so intuitive and well designed, else I would have reached the required usage parameters within days. 
It’s great isn’t it - especially when you consider that when logging on, it defaults the typing to the password field.
Hope they make progress with Firefox soon, not that I use it, I just sympathise with others.
Turns out, Firefox released version 2025.5.0 in the meantime!
