Details

On Android, there are various applications that does management (LastPass, 1Password, Bitwarden).

They typically add a notification to the notification bar, you tap on it and it offers a matching username/password for the web page being visited and then fill the password field on the web page.

Those apps work just fine in the Chrome web browser, but do not work with Firefox.

LastPass and 1Password provide another way to fill username/password login form for all apps. This mode too doesn't work with Firefox.

They should be working really, it puts Firefox at a disadvantage with Chrome.
From the bitwarden team: "There isn't really anything we can do since Firefox does not support accessibility events. We have it documented here: https://help.bitwarden.com/article/auto-fill-android/"
