Browser extension broken when server offline

Ok, so …

We’re not supposed to bother the Bitwarden folks with bugs and issues if we’re using VW. I’m self hosting, VW, and pretty sure I’m affected by a bug reported on BW about Chrome, but I’m affected on Firefox and wouldn’t mind if anyone else could confirm.

  • My server is offline / non-accessible at the moment.
  • The login window shows up, but hangs when I unlock the vault.
  • The extension icon/button shows the number of passwords for whatever website I might be on
  • When I open bitwarden, it’s an empty pop-up.

This matches pretty much exactly the behaviour described in Chrome extension takes forever to load UI after authenticating and is extremely slow and unresponsive - #20 by grb - Password Manager - Bitwarden Community Forums

I figure it’s the same thing, just that I’m on FF and that’s about Chrome. I recently got the extension update, and it’s been failing since.

Anyone else in the same boat?
