Hi, I'm using Firefox 70 but also seeing this in Firefox 68.2 esr. We're seeing an issue where, when staff go to login to a particular website, their saved password is being autofilled with a randomly generated one. I had the staff go in to Firefox password management and delete the incorrect saved passwords. I had the staff member log back in to the site and enter their correct password to the website. They could log in, and Firefox would prompt the user if they wanted to save the password. But once again, the password that Firefox was prompting to save was a randomly-generated one and NOT the one the user just entered.

Has anyone else seen this? The user was previously on a much older build of Firefox (somewhere in the 40s? not sure why it's not auto-updating either? Firefox had to update itself twice to get to the most current version.) Thanks in advance!

Just an update, the reason I mentioned that the user was on a much older version was that the problem didn't occur for that person until they updated Firefox.
