Desktop won't sync saved passwords with Android phone

Phone says sync is OK, but attempting to log in to a site doesn't bring up saved password. I notice that Firefox doesn't use it's own search engine; uses Google instead. Don't know if this is a problem or not.

Hi

Assuming the website will let you, if you long press on the password field having copied the password, you should see the option to paste the contents of the clipboard into that field.

Hi

Do you see the user credentials listed for that site if you open the Firefox for Android menu, select Settings, Logins and Passwords and select Saved Logins?

I have this and can manage to save the desired password to the clipboard, but can't figure out how to copy it into the site's password field. Any instructions appreciated. Very helpful so far!
