If you can access your password manager tools/options/security/saved passwords, then look at the URL that your password manager says it is trying to connect to and compare it to the website that you are actually trying to connect to. Something has changed in the new Firefox release and the URL you are trying to access with the password manager NOW needs to be exactly the same as in the manager.

I have been using https://www.google.com as the gmail password manager page - for like forever. Suddenly the Firefox Password manager now needs https://accounts.google.com to function. Either Gmail just changed or Firefox changed.
