Can Firefox Passwords default to "Last Used"?

I'm away from home, using Firefox on Windows 10, and every time I open the password manager, it defaults to "Alerts". I feel sure that when I use Firefox at home on Windows 11, it defaults to "Last Used". In this age of complex passwords, if I am opening the password manager, it's to copy a password I need frequently, so it would be very helpful if I could get Firefox to default to showing the "Last Used" passwords. Is there a way to do this?

Did you try to use the "Sort by" button in the left panel on about:logins to sort by Last Used??

  • about:config => signon.management.page.sort => last-used

The whole point is that I want the "about:logins" screen to default to displaying in "Last Used" sort order, so that I don't have to click the "Sort By" drop-down menu.

  • about:config => signon.management.page.sort => last-used

To my surprise, this parameter is already set to "last-used", which is why I am confused about why it isn't working.

This page doesn't seem to contain any relevant information that addresses the question I'm asking.

It seems that the only way I can make this work is by disabling vulnerable password alerts. I imagine that this is probably considered expected behavior by the developers.
