Firefox Android has old saved password list and doesn't sync with empty Firefox desktop list

Hello, i've recently installed Firefox for Android and apparently (no idea why) has a full old list of password in "Saved passwords". On my desktop the saved password list is empty (deleted some time ago) and it's synced with my Firefox account (between desktop and laptop), however the Firefox android app constantly has a full list of saved passwords. Clearing cache and clearing data doesn't do nothing, if i sync with my account i get the list back. How is that possible?

Plus i can't bulk delete that list, i must click the 3 dots and manually delete one by one and that's atrocious.

SOLVED: the problem was with my old laptop with Firefox, even if the session was disconnected it was keeping its password list synced (strangely... maybe a bug?) so i just deleted it and resync again. Now Firefox on Android has the empty list synced correctly.
