Syncing is odd

I have two PC's linked via Sync. However, one computer, "Boomie" does everything I want, ie, I go to the website, and Firefox has remembered my login info, and it's been entered into the box and all I need to do is enter my password. On the other computer, "Littleman", the one I am typing this from, whatever website I go to, all my login info is blank and I need to choose from the saved Logins and Passwords. The Logins should already be there. These two computers are supposedly synced up. However, I dare not do anything l'est I make my other computer, "Boomie" start misbehaving like this computer does.

For example, if I login to Amazon from "Boomie" my login name is usually there, and then I can choose the Password from the saved Logins and Passwords. However, nothing is there.

Some websites I use have triple security on them, so that data should be entered into the boxes for me to type in my 3rd password. But I am forced to choose from the list of saved Logins and Passwords.

The question is, how do I make "Littleman" stop having me choose my login name every time I go to a frequently visited website ?

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/update-firefox-latest-version?cache=no Did you update Firefox to the latest version?

Version 95.0, first offered to Release channel users on December 7, 2021 Version 95.0.1, first offered to Release channel users on December 16, 2021


https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1359657#answer-1463359 and updated to 95.0. . . . I finally found where the plugin "Widevine Content Decryption Module provided by Google Inc." was not updating to the newest version of December 1, 2021. Ver #4.10.2391.0

cor-el; Make sure you have the latest Widevine version. You can toggle DRM off/on to see if that makes Firefox (re)load DRM components.

You can possibly check the XHR requests in the Browser Console if this doesn't work.

Start Firefox using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?


Note: One user reported issues with logins. In the end, the user removed, then manually entered the data. Now it works.
