Firefox as a Password Manager
1 project | /r/firefox | 24 Feb 2023

For my mobile device I could never get used to using FF as my primary browser, and I started using Lockwise to be able to access all my saved passwords. Sadly though, the app was discontinued, or at least its repo was archived, but I still use the last build they published over at their GitHub project: https://github.com/mozilla-lockwise/lockwise-android
End of Support for Firefox Lockwise

For about 6 months or so I had to build my own release of lockwise because they had trouble supporting a point release of Android.
Their repo also hasn't seen any commits for about a year now:

One Ui 30 Constantly Showing Null In A Text Field

Found the problem to this issue. It is related to the Auto-Fill Service of Firefox Lockwise. After having installed the latest build from Github ( https://github.com/mozilla-lockwise/lockwise-android/releases/tag/release-v4.0.3 ), the issue seems to be gone. I hope this might help you.

Possibly a stupid question - why does firefox android app have trackers?
3 projects | /r/privacy | 24 Apr 2022

The only Mozilla-backed browser that doesn't have trackers or telemetry enabled by default is Klar (Play Store, Github) because they have to comply with Germany's, Austria's and Switzerland's laws.

Filing on Bugzilla for the android browsers gets a delayed response and follow up. It's better to go directly to the Github repo.
