saved login/password function dumbs down webpage addresses & corrupts logins

EXAMPLE:

I have an account at CVS.com with a username & password.

I also have a health insurance webpage I need to login to that uses CVS.com as it's base webpage but uses a specific page to log into with a separate username and password.

When I try to save the more complex SPECIFIC webpage login (ex CVS.com/abc/def/ghi/123) the FF behavior is that the CVS.com ONLY is BOLD HIGHLIGHTED in the address bar and FF tries to save the login / password info for THAT webpage in the place of the basic CVS.com login - thereby corrupting BOTH logins.

I tried everything and I cannot force FF to hold onto the specific longer webpage address as a separate webpage to save its own login / password.

This is not acceptable.

I am careful to load the webpage into the dedicated address box window only, NOT the search box, specifically to avoid this kind of behavior, as I first suspected it might be a cookie type of 'search' issue. nope.

The screenshot below shows (UNDERLINED IN RED) the BOLD type, which is the only info that FF login function seems interested in. The (UNDERLINED IN BLUE) is the grayed-out part of the webpage address which the login function ignores.

Please help / fix this.

NOTE: if I am doing something wrong in settings, then I missed some basic instructions. If this is so, then my request would then be: please make instructions on how to setup this browser function more obvious.

Thank you.

Firefox saves the login credentials for the origin (protocol and hostname), so in your case this would be for https://www.cvs.com

You can't save a separate login for specific file paths for an origin.
