Passwords out of sync between FF 78 ESR and 82+

Hello,

I'm using Firefox for Mac on several machines. Some of them run 78.4.1 esr and others are on the newest FF 82. Passwords and history are set to sync. I created a new login item in 78.4.1 esr however I don't see it in FF 82 which is reflected in the logins count: it's 92 in FF 78.4.1 esr while it's 91 in FF 82. FF 78 ESR doesn't use system proxy but its own. In the "Manage Devices" section it shows all my devices with every FF counterpart and the correct date and time last active.

As the issue hasn't been mitigated I want to add some new pieces, mainly 2 screenshots I've just made: Firefox iOS and Firefox Desktop (version 83, all are updated, hunky-dory). There you'll see the discrepancies under "Current device". In iOS version it says I was last seen 3 months ago for Firefox on Mojave, yet I opened and am writing this post in it. I've updated the login information of one entry in Firefox Desktop (Firefox on Mojave) but FF iOS doesn't see it and shows the old info instead (last updated in April 2020 which clearly is off). The manual syncing falls down too.
