Firefox Password Generator

more options

Greetings...

In regards to the Firefox Password Generator, I have two questions:

Q #1: Currently, the Firefox Password Generator appears to create random passwords that are 15 characters in length. Is there some way that I can increase the length of the randomly created passwords to a longer length, say 18 characters? Might this setting be contained at some location within "about:config" that I could edit?

Q #2: Currently, it appears that the only way to create a password for a new website in the Firefox Password Generator is when attempting to set the password while on a website. I would like to be able to create a password for a website from within the Firefox Password Generator itself. Is there some way that I could accomplish this task?

Thank you for your attention and assistance! Take care...
