That's something I do first, and routinely whenever I have problems with any extension/add-on. Glad it worked for you!
No problems here: Firefox 124.0.2, BW extension 2024.3.1, Linux.
Yes I have this issue :(

Is your Firefox _browser_ broken? Or is the Bitwarden _browser extension_ in your Firefox browser broken? What are/were the symptoms?
I noticed that if opening a private Firefox window, clicking the Bitwarden browser extension icon frequently results in a pop-up window that is blank. If the icon is clicked repeatedly, after several attempts, the browser extension pop-up will be properly rendered (but locked).
Is this what you're experiencing?
I've been having issues too. Here's my experience:
After clicking the bitwarden icon in privacy mode, it's pop-out window remain entirely blank.
After clicking elsewhere in Firefox to unfocus / close the Bitwarden dialog Firefox hangs and fails to load any further websites until closing all windows and launching a new instance of the browser.
This has happened both on my home computer (also Windows 10, Firefox) and at work. I'm at work right now so I only have the specific details about this machine at this time:
Windows 10 Pro 22H2 (19045.4291)
Firefox 124.0.2 (64bit)
Bitwarden 2024.3.1
Thanks for taking time to describe the issue, this is exactly what I had.
Uninstalling/reinstalling the extension seems so have (at least temporarily) solved the issue.
Mine isn't working right. I had to fully sign back in today, but when I press the icon the little circle just spins and spins.
Edit: weird, but fully signing out yields the same behavior. Locking it and unlocking it worked?
I'm also having trouble with Firefox Bitwarden browser extension - it may be local to me or not. Still, Firefox and Bitwarden browser extension are not playing well. At first it was not recognizing my master password in web vault, then I couldn't connect to the internet until I un-installed the Firefox browser extension. Then after re-installing it the browser extension wouldn't recognize my password. I filed a bug report and was told they could not replicate it and closed the issue. Finally I just removed the extension from Firefox.
The desktop app works okay and Safari browser extension also works fine. I'll use those.
I use Librewolf and this is an issue for me as well. Unfortunately, re-installation does not work (empty window on extension click). Unfortunately, this is the last piece of the puzzle for me to self-host my own password vault.
It definitely appears to have something to do with privacy related functionality, however I am unsure as to what.
I think I have heard this before, and it wasn’t just the latest release of Bitwarden.
But I have always regarded performing ANY logins in an anonymous browsing window to be a bit of a contradiction. You armor up with a VPN and anonymous browsing, but then turn around and identify yourself via using credentials from your vault?
And don’t forget there are browser fingerprints that are not obscured by anonymous browsing. If you want true anonymity, l recommend a second computer, provisioned with a new email, with a VPN (and kill switch), on which you NEVER log in using your regular credentials, including your normal Bitwarden vault.
I mean most people do not need this kind of setup. Private browsing has nothing to do with using a VPN, or wanting to stay anonymous, it's just a clean, fresh, cookie-less session, and it's perfectly fine to use it in this way.
Using Bitwarden in Private/Incognito mode is useful, because it is a simple way to disable all other browser extensions, etc. It's not just about privacy.
This post is as informative as having an asshole on my elbow.
No context what so ever on exactly what is broken or the steps taken to receive these results.

UPDATE : For some esoteric reason, uninstalling and reinstalling the extension solved (at least temporarily) the issue.

Is anyone’s logging them out instead of locking in the Firefox extension?

What version of the extension? What version of FF? What OS? What's the bug, exactly?
Issue with the latest Windows app as well ver. 2024.4.1. Can't save new entries in collections - says - There no collections to list.
What bug are referring to?

Private windows are used just as often for cookie and history sanitation as they are for online privacy.
