Passwords are muddled between sites
This is crazy. I use FF both for Android and PC. I started realising that some passwords were for the wrong site. I have a different password for each website which I mentally compute. When I saw that websites weren't letting me in with saved passwords, I went to see the password manager and the saved password IS definitively one of my passwords, since it is in the right format, but certainly IS NOT for that website. It only happened for at least 3 websites, more like 5-6 (it started by me having to reset several passwords, which I never had to do before) so it could not possibly have been me saving a wrong password for a different site by mistake. I don't think it could be done even if I wanted to. I checked random entries in the password manager and all seem to be ok, except the ones I remembered were wrong. I think it is Firefox for Windows that is doing this, since one of these sites I access only from PC. But clearly, I can't be sure, since they synchronise across platforms. Most wierd that no one else complains about this problem. I can't think of how I could be doing this myself. Thanks for any help

This is why one should know how Sync works and what is synced will sync across devices regardless and if mistakes where made it moves across synced devices. So it's up to the user to know what their doing with Sync and how to properly use it. Sync isn't a backup in the sense of offline backup that can be restored should data be overwritten or corrupted data.
Maybe you should read the question before replying. I am not using it as a sync. But I use the same account on both mobile and pc, as is meant to be done. Read the question and understand the problem before shooting out a critical reply. Thanks for trying
