Firefox Extension password on different PCs

I have installed an extension (mega.nz) on different PCs. On every PC, the extension has a different URL based on its unique ID, such as moz-extension://x4y901z4-t111-99x5-y321-xyz000z11909/mega/secure.html

But this URL is different on each PC.....

So Lockwise works fine on one PC (the one where the password was saved from), but on the other PCs it doesn't recognize the URLs and doesn't fill the account data in the login form.

Is it possible to modify the URL saved in Lockwise to match the scheme "moz-extension" ? any other workaround ?

thanks

As a workaround you could create an entry in Lockwise for the mega.nz origin or if this extension has an ID in email format (see about:support) then use the part after the '@' for the origin.

The UUID used by an extension is random and is stored in a pref that you can inspect on the about:config page, so that is not suited to sync to other devices.

it doesn't work: lockwise recognize only the address in the form moz-extension://<UUID>

My point was to use an origin (https://xxx.xxx) that you can recognize as belonging to this extension to create a login in Lockwise, so at least you can do a copy/paste of username and password from Lockwise to the login form. I don't know what login you tried to create that didn't work.
