I have been using the Bitwarden extension for FF for some years now. BW did a major update to the extension towards the end of 2024. The result was a very laggy extension in FF but worked well in Chromium based browsers. This has been raised with BW on their github. There hase been no update on the extension repo since 27 Dec 2024. BW have rleased three of four updates since then. I have istalled FFF ESR and running the github release as an unsigned extension. It works very well and there is no lag. It works just as well as the Chromium based browser. ESR is not the default release for my distro (Mint 22.1) and means regressing my windows box because I am assuming a release version user profile won’t regress to an ESR version. More importantly, the extension does not auto update.
I assume ESR is not meant for average user with no endpoint protection for Linux and only whatever Windows does or does not do. I am going full time Linux and this is not great.
BW claim they submit extensions for signing as and when they are released. It takes a few days on the chrome store and at least two months for FF. They have fixed the bug but FF users don’t get the benefit.
Does anyone know what’s going on?
Cheers!
