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?

I am attempting to copy apps from my iPhone to an new android tablet. It wants me to open Safari and use it, but I do not have Safari, it was removed when I downloaded Firefox. What do I do now? Is it actually on the Mozilla site? And, if so, where might I find it on the Mozella site?

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.

I recently have been having issues w/ Firefox updates & data loss involving an extension I use / Clippings. For other reasons (gaming) I installed Brave browser to compare performance. As a result of the issues I've had recently I decided it would be a good idea to have a backup (export) of my passwords & decided to Import the .csv file created into the Brave browser. The last line of the .csv file has a line that begins w/

chrome://FirefoxAccounts

.... along w/ several other fields. The information contained implies that it has something to do with Sync & also references a URL:

https://identity.mozilla.com/apps/oldsync

... along w/ MANY other operands.

What does this line do  ? This does NOT appear to be a working 'setting command' option (like: about:logins or about:debugging) in either Firefox or Chrome. The first 3 cells look similar to (some information changed):

chrome://FirefoxAccounts a5847f4e7faf42f19f17c0f531c77acc {"version":1,"accountData":{"scopedKeys":{"https://identity.mozilla.com/apps/oldsync".... more
