Was this something that was changed in update 76? My password saver would show the actual password when I clicked on password , now when I try this I receive the following

"Firefox' is trying to reveal the saved password, enter the password for user (name) to allow this. What password are they wanting? I have had big problems trying to sign into various sites.

Hepl!!

On Mac when you haven't set a master password you are asked for the Touch ID or password.
