### Additional Context

I've been using auto-fill for several months on multiple browsers without issues (Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Vivaldi). It stopped working on all browsers several days ago, so I assume it has to do with the latest update.

### Operating System

Windows

### Operating System Version

Win 10 Pro 22H2 19045.4046

### Web Browser

Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Vivaldi

### Browser Version

Firefox 123.0.1

### Build Version

2024.2.1

### Issue Tracking Info

- [X] I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. First reproduce the failure with Auto-fill on page load enabled in the listed browsers, then inspect changes introduced around build 2024.2.1. Done means login credentials are automatically filled again on page load across the affected browsers.
