Password Manager Not Syncing Correctly Between Desktop App and Mobile App

hey team Mozilla,

i'm having a bit of an issue with Password Manager not syncing between my android mobile device and my desktop device.

on desktop, i went through hundreds of accounts. i deleted accounts. i updated password. and i changed emails associated with those accounts (this was in response to recent data breaches that led to my identity being co-opted by fraudsters).

however, none of those updates are carrying over to my Firefox android app.

to trouble shoot, i tried clearing the mobile cache, clearing the mobile data, uninstalling the mobile app, syncing my desktop app, waiting for 8 hours, syncing the desktop app again, reinstalling the mobile app, logging back in.... but for some reason, the mobile app continues to remember all of my old and out-of-date passwords.

do you have any advice?

I enjoy playing an online browser trivia game using Firefox on my Android phone. The game keeps track of your previous scores and answers, I presume through cookies. I need to switch to a new phone and would love to be able to transfer my game history to this new phone.

If it helps, the game is found here: www.immaculategrid.com. The game does not allow you to log in with a profile or anything like that, so I don't know how you could see your history on a different device

I have found some guides online that were designed to transfer Wordle scores using bookmarklets. I couldn't seem to get that to work and found some forum answers saying that bookmarklets no longer work on Firefox for Android.

I have Firefox version 128 on Android 12.

I contacted Immaculate Grid and the person who responded didn't know a way. Any help would be appreciated.
