Public bug reported:
My system is Ubuntu 18.04 x64 which comes with Firefox 60.0.1. I have
installed two extensions (NordVPN and LastPass) into it but I can't use
either of them because I can't sign in to my account: as soon as I try
to click the password field or try to focus it by pressing the TAB
button, the extension window closes so it's impossible to enter the
password.
What's expected to happen: I can enter my username and my password and I
can sign in to these services through the Firefox extensions.
What's happening instead: the extension window closes when the password
field is about to get focused.
The reason I report this bug here and not to the creators of the
extensions or to Mozilla is because
- the extensions are from two different companies and it's unlikely that they
both made the same mistake
- the same extensions for Chrome work flawlessly (they also work in Firefox for
Windows)
- I tried the extensions with earlier versions of Firefox (all the way down to
52.8.0-esr) and I couldn't get them to work in either and it's unlikely that
not a single version of Firefox in the past ~1.5 years has supported these
extensions
- previously I had Ubuntu 16.04 installed in which these extensions have worked
without problem.
Therefore to me it appears that the problem is not with Firefox or with
its extensions but something with Ubuntu 18.04. I have no idea, however,
what package it might be so I report it as a generic error.
