I used to find my user names and passwords easily on Firefox under "Preferences" and then I clicked on "Passwords". I no longer can find this information. Were my passwords moved or eliminated?

When I needed to find my user name and/or password for a website I would go into the privacy and security area, scroll down to saved passwords and they were all there in alphabetical order. With the format change I can't find my list now. I've looked in the password section and privacy section and don't see where the "saved passwords" are. Can anyone help me?

When opening the firefox nightly password manager and selecting a password, you have the possibility to edit your saved password by clicking the edit button. After clicking it, you are able to modify the username and the password itself. However, you cannot modify the url/website this password was saved from. For example, I manually entered the login and password for, let's say, my reddit account. However, I misspelled the website and typed in reddot.com. Now, I cannot modify this passwords corresponding website and have to delete it, and make another one where I don't misspell the url. If this is the case for technical reasons/limitations, then I totally understand. However, if this is the case because it was overlooked, then I'd be looking forward to seeing it in future updates.

Password Manager will not save a URL larger than the first few words (base URL). But the site necessary to login contains more directions after the "xxx.com", and Password Manager truncates everything after the ".com" so it will not return to the proper site to login.

cannot delete outdated username on my bank account or replace it

I have a Scotiabank account. Its login name is my CC or rather debit card number. I got a new card with a new number. FF will not let me change the old one to the new one. So I went through Safari and entered the new one by hand, which allowed me to do my online banking a day or two ago.

I want to use FF and to change the number, because FF is my default browser and I like it.
