Firefox thinks that password field on one website is a username field, so won't generate new password

I'm using one website which demands a new password every three months. That would be easy if the Firefox automatic generation of a new secure password worked with this site but it doesn't. Firefox thinks that both the Password and Confirm Password fields are asking for a username instead. Obviously I can take this up with with the website owner too -- but is there any other means of generating an obscure password when Firefox won't do it? An app? A Firefox plug-in?

Sorry to have posted too soon, since I've just answered my question by leaving the word "Firefox" out of the question I typed in when I tried again. The first response was https://www.dashlane.com/features/password-generator, which met my needs.
