Dropbox Passwords doesn't autofill in my Android apps or my Firefox browser login screens

Dropbox Password app v278.13

Firefox version 

135.0.1 (Build #2016074239), hg-7c2ff1aa3394+
GV: 135.0.1-20250216192613
AS: 135.0.1

Do I always have to open Dropbox Password app on my device first?

My dropbox passwords do not suggest or autofill in APPs and Firefox browser tabs on my Android (v14) samsung tablet (UI6.1, SM-X210).

    Hi severard, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

    When you click the extension, or the mobile app, are you able to access your Passwords account from there normally?

    This will help me to assist further!

    The ext file isnt working how I thought it would. i downloaded the 3.32.0 dropbox password ext off your website but it fails to run. it just says no app found to open xpi file

    I can access my dropbox password app.

    severard, what if you remove the Dropbox Passwords extension from your web browser, and add it back after that? Are you still having trouble with the auto-fill feature?

    Hey severard, do you have this issue only with Firefox or other browsers as well?

    In that case, it means that the issue comes from Firefox severard 

    Did you try on a private browsing window perhaps to see if this is caused by another browser extension you're using perhaps?
