How does Mozilla protect saved passwords from being hacked? How does its process compare to the protection of programs like 1Password?

I am running W11 (HOME). FF is acting like I am running W10 (I keep getting info on needing to upgrade to W11).
Now to the real problem:
It appears since I upgraded FF to 146.0.1 64 bit, FF seems to have problems pulling up password/ids that haven't been used for a while. It actually can't find them as if they had never been used. The number of "passwords" it lists is rather small (like 8). This is causing me to have to go through lost password routines.
Any idea what or why this is happening?

Why all of a sudden I cannot reacht my saved passwords anymore. Also it does nit prefill the saved passwords anymore when going to a website. How come Firefox/Mozilla keeps changing these essential things?? It makes it very much so less productive.
I've included a screenshot of what I get when clikcing on the Password tab. The information displayed in this wcreen also does not work. Clicking on Sync, does just nothing, just showing Sync in grey... Clicking on Login above just show this screen screen again. Useless.

I just started getting a message saying Facebook was breached back in 2023. Never got any message prior to this week. Situation is: I moved to a new city and can no longer see ANY of my passwords saved on Firefox. It's basically saying I have to change them ALL! Even if I tried, it's required to know the previous password to change the password on many, if not ALL the account passwords. The message says I was breached, but I wasn't. FIX IT PLEASE!!!

In about:logins, passwords on the left side have a hover effect, but the click only works if you click the inner part, clicking the outer part doesn't select the password. This gave me dementia from so many failed clicks.
See screenshot, clicking inside the red = fine, outside = no work

Hi,
I’m experiencing the following issue:
When I open Password Manager (about:logins), the page is completely blank.
This problem started about three months ago, after I updated Firefox to a newer version.
Currently, on the about:logins page, I can export all my accounts and passwords as a CSV file (so the data clearly exists), but nothing is displayed on the page itself.
I also tried importing the same CSV file (exported from about:logins) back into Firefox. After importing, all accounts and passwords appear in the left panel. However, when I click on any item, the right panel is still blank. If I close the page and open about:logins again, the items still do not load.
My current Firefox version is 147.0.
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks!

Hi! A few minutes ago I was in the process of signing up for a website- creating an account log-in and password. Firefox asked if I would like to use an automatically generated password- which was displayed. Of course this is nothing new and I always say yes. The password automatically saves (or I guess it asks me first and I say yes) to the password section in the browser settings. Always easy! But this time it did not save it- I tried it twice and neither time it saved. I read some of the support posts and someone advised to make sure it was checked in my iOS settings. It was NOT so I checked it. But strange because it’s always saved all the others? Anyway I was wondering if there’s a way to see recently generated passwords similar to what the iOS password generating and saving tool has been doing for a little while now (not implying anything here!). That’s all I guess, thank you so much!!

I have my FF preferences setting as "Strict". But somehow Facebook people were able to hack into my FF account, and obtain my password for FB and other passwords? This comes directly from my Firefox preference page Red Warming Box includes & states on Sept 30, 2025 Facebook Hacked & Gained access to my account. Not a person, it states Facebook did it. And to change my FB password ASAP. So I go to my FB account go through their lame motions and they say they will not allow me to do so because I haven't used my account very long and they don't know if it is me trying to change my password. My question is what do I do now and how to prevent any social media outlet of simply hacking into my Mozilla account or my Firefox accounts? Please help. Seems like their should be a law against this type of intrusion gathering save password and etc.

In the Security Measures overview, under Manage Passwords, I see the following: 3 passwords may have been exposed through data breaches.
All 3 websites with data breaches belong to Facebook.
I permanently deleted all Facebook accounts more than 3 years ago.
Without Facebook accounts, I can't and don't need to change my passwords, right?
Thanks and regards

No FireFox icon on my desktop, though icon for Adobe Acrobat, which I just got from FireFox for FREE! Delightful, THANK you very much.

Most FRUSTRATING.
