How do I find out who/what is intercepting Firefox as password manager?

Passwords remain a most vexing problem but Im not sure of the (source /sources) of the problem. Please read on - I hope you can help me out. FRUSTRATED at all the time wasted with this. I used to think it was always a Firefox issue but gradually Ive come to suspect other causes are to blame.

In SETTINGS I elected Firefox to manage my passwords. Sometimes it does. Sometimes in google I find it google or gmail would be set as manager (but not by me I DESPISE GOOGLE but its a MUST HAVE/Cant Delete on android phones. Sometimes when I'm setting up a new app or web site address I answer YES to prompt SAVE PASSWORD but then when I try to log in Firefox has no such acct setting. Once or twice i managed to discover CHROME was storing passwords including new one. Sometimes its none of these that store the new password. So where does the SAVE PASSWORD PROMPT come from?

These password issues are my biggest recurring problem trying to actually accomplish something on my android phone (Motorola Stylus - chosen to work around my disability / dexterity issues).

There are programs that came with my phone that cant be removed. And I periodically find new ones have been installed but Not by my choosing.

The new Assistant App is a demon from hell - interfering when Im in the middle of an important task - popping up with inane senseless crap stuff like TRY SAYING **** WTF ever

Im the one who paid for this phone and I'm the owner but too often I dont have the control I am entitled to as owner.

Imagine you buy a new car only to discover someone else is in control - must have duplicate keys?

Survival is near impossible without SMART PHONE - it provides useful service but can also be a pain in the @$$ I rue the day it was invented.

My Apple I-mac has passed away. It was easier and faster than these TEXTING demonic inventions.
