In FF (30.0) Password Manager, when you open Edit, what are all the fields and how do you fill them in?
When you open Edit, there are two choices: Web form and annotated. What is the difference?
Then, there are fields for Host, Submit Prefix, Username, Password, etc. How do you fill in these fields?
When you click to have the manager "Guess from Current Page," all fields don't necessarily get filled in, so is it just for username and password? I use the edit feature constantly, so it's a little odd not to see more detailed instructions here.
When I click on Tools, the Saved Password Dialog is on the list, so it's on my toolbar all the time. I use it constantly.
What is the latest in password security? I know there are competing ideas. What does Mozilla think?
Thank you.

Personally, I do not save website logins in Firefox. The FireFTP extension saves FTP logins, so I use a Master Password to protect those.
I know I should eventually adopt a cloud-based password manager because so often I forget my login and have to reset it, but... I haven't gotten around to comparing features and testing.

Hmm, could this be a feature of your extension, "Saved Password Editor"? The support article (Password manager - Remember, delete, change and import saved passwords in Firefox) doesn't show those changes when I switch the version from 29 to 30 in the left column.
JScher - nice to see you.
Hmm! It IS an extension, but I thought it was part of FF. I didn't even look at mine (extensions), because before asking, I searched a couple of times to make sure that it is the same as the one referred to in all of the Firefox pictures and instructions. It looks identical, except for the Edit feature, which is actually quite useful. I feel silly, but I'll manage!
How is the manager you are using? I have no idea why I felt the need to change, unless it was because of edit.
What about the other questions?
Thank you!
