Usernamedrop down menu not working
Firefox used to save the entered usernames regardless of whether you saved the password as well. When they did the major update a couple of years ago (might have been 2020 but I think it was early 2021) and introduced the new login manager, that list stopped working and I had to type out the entire username every single time. It suddenly started working again last year and now I'm setting up a new laptop and once again, Firefox will not save the username in a dropdown menu. I use a particular website that has well over 100 different usernames for work that I do and having to type out the whole username every time I log in (I'm logging in and out upwards of 50 times a day in the spring each year) is a huge time waster over the course of a workday.
There must be some sort of setting change that can be done or patch to make the username box behave like the old Firefox. I do NOT want passwords to be saved on this site (it contains personal info for over 1000 people) but do want the username saved so all I have to do is type a portion of the username and it pulls it out of the menu. For example, it could have a username of firefox23 or firefox112 and all I have to do is type in 23 or 112 and it pulls up the rest of the username I need out of the dropdown menu.

In the Firefox Password Manager you can only save username and password, the latter being mandatory as Firefox supports password only forms.
If you only want to save the username then you can use saved form data, either in Firefox or use an extension.
