I have my login credentials saved in Firefox on a Windows PC. I just installed Ubuntu on another PC. I am signed into Firefox on both computers and Sync is enabled. When the Sync finished up on the Ubuntu PC, everything came across with the exception of the login credentials. Has anyone experienced something like this before?

Try the same steps with Firefox from Mozilla. Download, unzip, and run firefox-bin in the folder. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release

All my info syncs just fine between all my devices. see old screenshot

Do you mean use the Firefox installer from Mozilla instead of using the Snap'd one that comes with Ubuntu?
