When using Google Meet, you are given the option to share your screen — either the entire screen, or a specific Firefox window.

I've noticed, however, that no matter what Firefox window is used, if you access an extension that creates a pop-up dialog, such as the Container selection button from Conex, the uBlock origin settings popup for each webpage, or a password manager pop-up such as Bitwarden, those popups will appear on the shared window, even if you decide to do this from another Firefox window altogether.

This is a major security concern for me, as I've had circumstances where the password entry window for Bitwarden will appear on any window, even if I open the extension pop-up from a window not being shared to Google Meet. I'm not sure where to submit this issue, so I'm starting from the Mozilla support page and going from there. Would appreciate anyone's help on getting this issue resolved. Thank you.

Have you tried to during those meeting turn off the addons and see what happens. And then try again with just the meeting and nothing else running to see what happens.

I'd imagine if I turned off the affected plugins these issues would not surface, since the popups that appear in those meetings (the Conex container selection menu, and Bitwarden's password prompt, for example) rely on those addons being active. Unless you mean something else?

If this is a "major security concern", a video showing the issue would help your case.
