I noticed a few months ago after a major update involved in a design refresh slowed down the Firefox browser extension boot up times on both my Intel laptop running Windows 11 and my AMD Desktop running Ubuntu 24.04.
There is also a “glitch” reload of the extension which might cause part of the pin I entered before to be erased.
I think the problem may be related to this: Browser extension slowed down .
I think a part or all of these problems will be addressed in v2026.2 releases:

### Steps To Reproduce
1. Install and configure the Bitwarden extension on Fire… fox.
2. Unlock Bitwarden by clicking the extension icon.
### Expected Result
The password prompt should appear quickly, and the password field should not clear itself while you are typing the password.
### Actual Result
The password prompt does not appear for ~2 seconds, and any text entered in the password field will be cleared in the first ~3 seconds after the prompt appears. Waiting ~3 seconds before entering text will avoid text erasure.
