How can I get my saved passwords to return to the order they were in before the 42.0 update?

If one saved multiple usernames and passwords for a website, Firefox used to show all your saved options in the original input order, but since the 42.0 update, they appear in alphabetical order.

For example, if you saved def@gmail.com and then abc@gmail.com, the first option on top of the list would have been def@gmail.com.

Is there a way to reverse this?

Thanks to everyone for their time.

It is possible that Firefox will sort the entries by frecency (frequency and recency) and let the most used entries bubble to the top, so you can see if this will happen in your case.

No, my saved usernames definitively show up in an unmoving alphabetical order on the two computers where I've updated Firefox, but thank you.
