Browser saved passwords can be easily extracted if someone enters illegally in your computer. Bitwarden requires always a master key, it's more secure

If it's stored locally then it's the same for a Firefox(desktop) and bitwarden. It's stored encrypted, and locally. You can extract the files from either. If it's stored locally, then you can extract it. It's not as if there's some more advanced method of storing files. And if bitwarden doesn't store it locally, well then you're fucked if the servers aren't reachable.
