Firefox Android has old saved password list and doesn't sync with empty Firefox desktop list

Hello, i've recently installed Firefox for Android and apparently (no idea why) has a full old list of password in "Saved passwords". On my desktop the saved password list is empty (deleted some time ago) and it's synced with my Firefox account (between desktop and laptop), however the Firefox android app constantly has a full list of saved passwords. Clearing cache and clearing data doesn't do nothing, if i sync with my account i get the list back. How is that possible?

Plus i can't bulk delete that list, i must click the 3 dots and manually delete one by one and that's atrocious.

SOLVED: the problem was with my old laptop with Firefox, even if the session was disconnected it was keeping its password list synced (strangely... maybe a bug?) so i just deleted it and resync again. Now Firefox on Android has the empty list synced correctly.

Since the upgrade several days ago, I have not been able to select my saved password on some pages, instead I always see "Use strong password" to create a new one. I have not changed my password or anything, and can still see my account information in the saved passwords setting. How can I recover the way to input my password?

Apparently, if there are input boxes for both a username and a password on the page, my account is automatically set as before. Meanwhile, if there is only a password box, Firefox does not allow me to select my saved password.

Firefox 130.0.1 Build #2016044751 on Android 14

On the newest version of Firefox after a full uninstall/reinstall - problem started last night. New install of Firefox didn't sync with my email, but after linking it on desktop via QR code, old passwords were reinstated. opened password manager again, and the problem where my phone accepts the pin or fingerprint, opens password menu for <2 seconds, then asks for pin or fingerprint again.

Menu is also slower than usual to load, causes the phone to hang on a black Firefox background colour screen when loading and only able to be forced to quit if I go back to the home screen, passwords menu comes back on screen if I don't force quit the app (back button goes back to blank passwords screen then asks for login again, android back button does the same.

I've been trying to view my saved passwords on mobile but every time I either enter my pin or use my thumbprint to log in, the action doesn't complete. It just goes back to the enter pin screen again and again.

This is the first time I'm encountering this problem and I'm a bit stumped.

Firefox on my Android smartphone is well synchronized with Firefox on the computer. I can see that both contain the same list of logins and passwords. When I must log in other applications, there is a notice that appears saying "unlock faierferox" followed by the sign of fingerprints. But when I try to have my fingerprint recognized, nothing happens.

What should I do?

Thanks for helping.

How to export passwords from Firefox Android in readable format like CSV for other password manager apps like KeePass XC or AuthPass? 

Currently as I'm seeing all Gecko-based browsers especially on mobile not just Firefox but also Mull, Fenix, Waterfox and Iceraven, lacks this.

Is this intentional or should I just keep Chrome as my browser because to jump to Firefox, I need basic things to be covered, which I don't see, Mozilla Firefox team doing on its own. 

Other browsers like Opera have proper in-built system of password manager. 

How unfortunate.

Firefox for Android app, build 132.0.2.

When opening the password tab, the prompt to enter your devices pin or password appears as it should. However, spamming the "cancel" button on the prompt or the Android's back button (about 4 or 5 times) allows you to go to the password manager and view all usernames and passwords without reentering the device's pin/password.

To recreate: open the password tab, enter pin prompt opens, pressing cancel reopens the pin prompt, pressing cancel 4 or 5 times opens the password manager without verification.
