Autofill doesn't work, since Firefox passwords can't be unlocked using in-display fingerprint sensor

When trying to autofill password in other app, a fingerprint icon alongside "Unlock Firefox" is being displayed. Tapping on said icon doesn't do anything. And I can't simply unlock via fingerprint, since my device is using an in-display fingerprint reader which triggers the keyboard stroke instead of reading the fingerprint to unlock the passwords.

Device: Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Android: 11 MIUI: 12.5.2 Keyboard: GBoard & Swiftkey (both show same issue)
