(In reply to Liz Henry (:lizzard) from comment #1) > That seems a bit awkward. What happens if you change one of the passwords for a site? Do both the copies change? From what I can tell, they are not literal copies, hence Fx treats them as two different records, which somehow raises the awkwardness when this happens (due to the fact that both records have blank usernames and same generated password). So, when you update a u/p from doorhanger, you will only update the one u/p record for which the doorhanger has been generated. If you edit from about:logins, it will also change just the one you are editing on. Not particularly sure either on how often this kind of scenario might be reproduced by a live environment.
