Firefox "suggested sites" turn off

Logan....aaahhh....

GG I don't do that thing about Google having all my stuff.

There were four passwords on my local machine.

Vinny you are a smart man....

And I only used Chrome when it had flash capabilities other than FF.

Ever since CastleCops I'm kinda paranoid about all that stuff.......

So these passwords are only those that I "saved" in Chrome or Chromium over the years; not other browsers? If so, I reckon it's just another path to the already saved passwords? It's quicker than Chrome>settings>show advanced settings>manage passwords>passwords. Great stuff.

I sincerely hope this is not part of Chromium.
There are times Chromium works (on video) where Firefox fails but I've never saved any passwords in Chromium.

I don't save my passwords in browsers at all. I was never comfortable with the idea of doing that.

Probably only Chrome and Android. When I log in here's the statement on top of the page: Your passwords from Chrome and Android are saved with Google Smart Lock and accessible to you across devices.

BUT I have "smart lock" and "auto sine-in" turned OFF as well.

I only started using Chrome after I installed Kubuntu 14.04. Before that I used mainly FireFox and on rare occasions I'd give Opera a try. Some of those passwords in my list are from sites I had not visited in 8 to 10 years, or longer.

LinuxToday, for example. Before 2008 I used my name for my login. After a Linux User Group meeting at the University of Nebraska, where because of my age and grey hair, many of the students thought I was a professor at UNL. The temporary student leader couldn't remember my name, or didn't want to mess it up so he wrote "GreyGeek" on my name tag and everyone started using it. I started using "a.k.a GreyGeek" as a sub-moniker on LT around then, but not sure exactly when. When the PC mantra about how Linux is anti-woman infected that site I decided it was time to leave.

Anyway, the passwords of mine that Google has goes back at least a dozen years, if not more.

it makes me wander why the large discrepancy in in password capture/display frequency in just even the few people that have responded to this??
