firefox password manager is NOT saving the full and complete website addresses in their entirety for firefox's own password saver. Such incomplete web addresses of password being saved results in "404" page errors, lost logins and passwords, and unnecessary password changes overwrites previously stored legitimate saved login info causing unnecessary conflicts. Multiple fixes are needed with your firefox password manager so that it saves the full, complete, and ENTIRE web address instead of a shortened abbreviation of just the basic root address for every login web address that s saved. Saving the full and complete web addresses are highly critical for banking and credit card websites as banking sites use similar root addresses for multiple businesses where each variation of their expanded address lines includes strict access to each of the various and different business components that the root address supports. A few examples for these banks (Citi, Chase, Barclays, and Synchrony) who provide and back multiple credit cards for multiple companies and storefronts (Costcos, BJs, Best Buy, Target, TJX, Home Depot, Lowes, Amazon, PayPal, & Old Navy to name but a few) where the different storefronts are either annotated before the root websites base address (syf.com, Citi.com, citiretailservices.citibankonline.com) or after the root websites base address located deep, far, and well down into near the end of an extremely lengthy site address. This is how and where each web address variant has its own different and specific login for each store that the bank's website supports. This also results in multiple blocks to passwords from being saved by your "Firefox passwords" "extension" as "Firefox passwords" WON'T allow multiple passwords to be saved to what your "Firefox passwords" function sees as the "same" "Website address" when the websites full web address actually provides access to different companies. 1. needs to save FULL & COMPLETE site addresses as the "Website address" in "Firefox passwords" manager. 2. Allow multiples of "similar" "Website address" to be stored in "Firefox passwords" manager as separate individual logins. 3. Add a new entry category into "Firefox passwords" to allow a "name" or give a "login title" to any save passwords that helps avoid confusion with similarities of individual logins so your "Firefox passwords" manager doesn't block, doesn't prevent, or doesn't overwrite previously saved login information.
