Sometimes we show a modal password change dialog (see bug 1154763) but in the case of a generated password being filled, we want to show the doorhanger instead. We are basically fixing bug 1154763 but only in the password generation case in order to reduce scope for Firefox 70. We already track the GUID of a filled login so we can similarly track if a field was filled with a generated login.

Sometimes we show a modal password change dialog (see bug 1154763) but in the case of a generated password being filled, we want to show the doorhanger instead. One reason for this is because the user may want to save this generated password as a 3rd login but the current UX forces them to cause an update to one of their existing logins. We are basically fixing bug 1154763 but only in the password generation case in order to reduce scope for Firefox 70.
