I need 2 logins for a website Login 1 : For www.example.org/ with user@some.url and Password1 Login 2 : For www.example.org/otherdir/ with otheruser@other.url and Password2

Now Firefox 140 keeps deleting the subdirectory /otherdir/ when storing the Login2 and merges the logins with whatever was given second. Login 2 is not possible. Login 1 gets corrupted.

This is a bug.

In web forms that ask for my email address Firefox displays a message 'Manage passwords' instead of displaying me email address. I cannot find a way to disable this irritating feature which means I have to write in my email address every time which in turn increases the likelihood of mistyping my address. I have searched all over the place trying to find an answer but without luck. Can someone tel me how to disable this? Thanks.

Why all of a sudden I cannot reacht my saved passwords anymore. Also it does nit prefill the saved passwords anymore when going to a website. How come Firefox/Mozilla keeps changing these essential things?? It makes it very much so less productive.

I've included a screenshot of what I get when clikcing on the Password tab. The information displayed in this wcreen also does not work. Clicking on Sync, does just nothing, just showing Sync in grey... Clicking on Login above just show this screen screen again. Useless.

I was trying to register with a new website. Firefox suggested dG@5 as the securely generated password, which being only four characters is obviously insecure. Not surprisingly, it wasn't acceptable, as the website required at least eight characters. I tried deleting the password in both fields and trying again, but Firefox kept suggesting the same insecure password. Even after restarting the registration process I was offered the same password. I have used this feature many times previously, and have never had this happen before. Why has this happened? Is there anything that I can do to stop it happening again? Is there anyway that I can force Firefox to come up with a different password if I don't like its first suggestion? And, is Firefox's system really secure, if it does this?

How to format password data CVS file to be imported into firefox?

We have been unable to find an explanation of what components of the password file data, like created & modified date, can be included nor any formatting requirements. We've read that only the url, username & password are necessary... does that imply that the date/time fields would not be included if provided when imported?

Following the format of an Exported CSV password file seems reasonable... but risky as it could corrupt the existing file?

I have a password with an @. When I save with password in Firefox, it replaces the "@" with "%40". I have tried deleting the saved password, going into the password menu and manually saving the correct password. However, "%40" keeps reappearing.
