User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:108.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/108.0

Steps to reproduce:

I didn't do anything special. I just synchronised my firefox account to my work's computer one day.
I was a bit suspicious about their privacy behavior, so I removed my account from my work's computer.
I don't know if it's related but this is the only thing I can think about.

Actual results:

On my mac or windows, firefox doesn't show alerts about password or breached website, but it does on iOS. I don't know why.

I tried to reach r/firefox/ to get help, and they advise me this :
" Open your Privacy & Security settings (about:preferences#privacy)
- Uncheck Show alerts about passwords for breached websites
- Restart Firefox
- Check Show alerts about passwords for breached websites again
If the problem persists, please report it to Mozilla."

I tried and it didn't work for me.

Expected results:

To show me my compromised password and breached website.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Cocoa' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Not sure if Password Manager is the correct component. Please reassign if there is a better component.
