I think what is happening here is that when Sync adds the extra logins, it must be finding the duplicated login and overwriting it with a new GUID. Clicking on the address and trying to delete would then be using a stale GUID which is why they would fail. When we get a loginAdded notification, we should see if the login is a duplicate of one already created (this seems error prone), and update the GUID on the page. I believe this is the only user-facing way that a login can be successfully added that is a 1:1 duplicate?

Refreshing the page should fix it. Thus I'm marking this as a P3.

Mass removing [skyline] and [passwords:management] from about:logins bugs which are no longer useful.

Hi everyone, I'm a new contractor and I'm looking for some help creating an asphalt calculator like this https://asphaltcalculators.com/. I need this tool to help me with my projects, but I don't have the programming knowledge to create it myself. What programming languages would I need to learn in order to create this tool? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
