Tested this with Firefox Nightly 138.0a1 (2025-03-03), on macOS 14.7 and the Password field is now highlighted in red when attempting to save the form empty, but the Website address field is highlighted in blue. This might be related with the fact that the Website address field gains focus automatically after pressing the "Save" button (please see the attached screenshot in Comment 2).
