Contact apple to help with their software.

Thank you. Unfortunately my issue is primarily on Firefox, which I prefer over Safari. Are you telling me to drop using FF?

That's a Apple software so it's for Apple support to resolve their software issues.

Firefox is not an Apple product. If you don't know an answer, that's fine. If this is a known issue which has no answer currently, that's fine too. Just state that. With all that there appears to have been a simple solution. A Firefox solution, BTW, and no help from Apple (or Firefox/Mozilla support forums either) The solution (for me anyway): Click on the puzzle piece in the Firefox (FF) menu-bar (extensions) In there I found a active Apple password extension which I disabled. That seems to have ended my problem.
