Please provide a clear explanation what happens and what does not happen. If the results are that you need to enter your Firefox password, then there is no bug here at all.

The request to you still stands though. Without a clearer description what exactly happens after which steps it's hard to investigate.

If you are talking about Firefox on your computer then you need to authenticate with your operating system credentials, not Firefox ones, to see/copy/edit a saved login. You can open about:config and set signon.management.page.os-auth.enabled to false to disable this.
