Details
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:71.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/71.0
Steps to reproduce:
Clicked a username/password field to fill in username/password.
Actual results:
The entire list of all my credentials from all domains appears in a large and confusing list.
Expected results:
Only the credentials saved for the current domain should show. That is how it used to be. I have hundreds of passwords saved because I am an admin. It is very overwhelming.

Bugbug thinks this bug should belong to this component, but please revert this change in case of error.

I assume you mean that only credentials for subdomains of the top-level domain + 1 are showing, not credentials for unrelated domains? Is that correct? If so, you can workaround this for now by setting signon.includeOtherSubdomainsInLookup to false in the about:config page.
Yes, you are correct. I was logging into bluehost so I saw 20 credentials listed from other subdomains/email-servers that were not the cpanel login. Thanks for the workaround.
As an aside, FF used to just fill in the credentials for a site if there was only one saved. Now, at least for some sites, it makes you explicitly click on the username both in the username and password fields - that seems like a regression in UI convenience.

There are a few reasons that can happen, see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Toolkit:Password_Manager/Debugging#Won.27t_auto-fill_a_saved_password
