Can you guys make Primary Passwords work on Firefox Mobile too?

Firefox Primary password

I thought I'd try enabling the Primary Password feature to make my stored passwords more secure, and it works on my desktop, the problem is it doesn't seem to work at all on Firefox for Android and all my stored passwords are still freely available on my phone without entering the Primary Password. That makes it a pretty pointless feature unless you only use Firefox on a desktop. Also my phone is more likely to get stolen and leak all my stored passwords than my desktop.

You need an Android screen lock authentication method (face recognition, fingerprint, PIN) on your device. Without it your passwords are not protected.
