Cannot find spurious login IDs at about:logins

Say that I have a login at a site, and I got there previously with another browser. When I go to the same site with Firefox for the first time, that site's ID field might drop down to show a number of entries, and many times (but not always) there is no "View Saved Logins" below the list.
Here is an example of a site than many readers of this might not go to: DevonTechnologies.com and this might be the same for you. Devon's login ID wants an email address, and the field dropped down to show 29. A bunch of them were emails I would swear on my kid's heads I have never used anywhere, not even in another browser, and one was a misspelling of my own email address. Only a small few were addresses that were valid elsewhere. But here is the rub: A search of about:logins for the weird addresses and my misspelling came up empty.
Further, I can go to another site I have never visited with Firefox, and I might not get a drop-down at all or I might get just one of my three typical email addresses.
For those sites where I have used Firefox for the first time, the questions are
- Where did Firefox get those spurious addresses?
- Where did Firefox get a good address, and why did it leave out the "usual" others?
- Why are the odd logins not found at about:logins?
I have Firefox 76.0.1 under Catalina 10.15.4, and I sync with Lockwise.
Thanks.
