FF trying to save/update local website (e.g. 20.200.30.200) is broken. It think it confuses other website!?
Every day when I go to work with my laptop which has Fedora 36 installed, I open up Firefox in order to fill the "IT Checklist" where I need to visit a couple of local intranet websites in order to fill upbound threshold and inbound threshold.
I see weird Firefox behavior when it comes to, "Firefox remembering past logins". Let's say, I went to a website that has a URL like 20.200.30.200, and a password 1234.
Every time I try to log in to this website, Firefox asks if I want to update my password !! Something which I don't understand. Neither I am changing the password, nor I have written a different password to update with.
Every time Firefox try to update the password of this website with a random long string of character, which is out of my mind. I have to be careful each time and press "Don't Update" option.
On a normal website (let's say Facebook.com) there is no such problem. But when it comes to a local website, Firefox behaves very differently.
There is another website called 20.0.20.1. Its username is root and the password is 4321. But when I try to login in, only the password section is auto-filled, the username section needs to manually be written. Even though about:logins see both domains saving their respective username and password, when it comes to serving users, it sucks misbehave a lot.
Clearly, there is a fundamental problem in Firefox when it comes to handling how logins are saved and served to the user.
I really hope that Firefox 109 fixes this issue and handles the local website properly.

It is possible that there runs some JavaScript on those page that makes changes to the username and password fields.
You can create a login block exception to prevent Firefox from asking to update the stored password. You can possibly verify on the about:logins page that the saved logins are correct.

I have logged in information that are correct.

How do I do that?
