## Issue
|
||||||
|
The bitwarden extension does not load when I open it in Firefox Private Browsing so I am unable to auto-fill forms.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Workaround
|
||||||
|
If the bitwarden extension is locked (little red lock icon), unlock it in a non-private Firefox window before proceeding.
|
||||||
|
1. Navigate to the website's login page in Firefox Private Browsing
|
||||||
|
2. Right click the page
|
||||||
|
- A context menu will appear
|
||||||
|
3. Select **bitwarden > Auto-fill > the website**

## Issue
|
||||||
|
The bitwarden extension does not load/appears blank when I open it in Firefox Private Browsing.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Details
|
||||||
|
This is a known issue with Firefox that Mozilla is unwilling to fix.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
>It is due to the popup being unable to communicate with the background page during private mode. Mozilla claims that inter-window communication should not be allowed in private mode.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Workaround
|
||||||
|
If you are looking to auto-fill usernames and passwords while in Firefox Private Browsing, please visit [https://help.bitwarden.com/article/auto-fill-firefox-private-mode](/article/auto-fill-firefox-private-mode/#workaround).
