When will the FireFox extension get biometric support now that I think it supports nativeMessaging

Not too sure, but there was a GitHub issue for Catalina + Chrome, with similar error message: Issue with unlock with Biometrics (OSX Catalina, Brave, Chrome) · Issue #1709 · bitwarden/clients · GitHub

And a fix was added a couple days ago, but it doesn’t look like changes made it into 1.25.1.

In case you want to check if this is the issue you are seeing, try the workaround:

In the meantime manually creating the tmp directory inside ~/Library/Containers/com.bitwarden.desktop/Data should resolve the issue.

Since these error messages are very general, it is possible that your issue is caused by something else.
