Firefox for Android - passwords - sync with FF Desktop

(Unsure whether this here is the right place to post)

I vainly spent an awful lot of time on trying to figure out a solution for the below.
It seems to me that it is a 'common' issue, but regretfully after all my searches I found no answers.
Maybe it simply isn't possible, I don't know... Hope anyone here can help/advise.


I use Firefox on my Windows 10 pc.
Have passwords enabled: both items under Options->Security -> Logins (Remember logins for sites/Use a master password) are tagged.

I use Firefox for Android on my tablet and have all matters synchronized with FF for Windows.
Okay so far.

Now, under Firefox for Windows there are quite a number of logins saved (forums)
However, Firefox for Android->Logins merely 3 items show up.
(accounts.firefox.com, accounts.google.com, login.live.com)

I would like to have Firefox for Android:
a. sync all forum login-id's and passwords from Firefox for Windows
b. autofills empty fields in case of matching URLs

So, practically, when I access this forum using Firefox for Android and click on 'Login' then Firefox should fill in the empty fields (same as a standalone password manager, like Dashlane, Roboform, etc)

Q: Is this possible?
If so, how am I to proceed to get it working?
If not, then I don't need to search any further.

Q: IF it is possible for Android, how safe are the passwords then?
(within FF for Windows, obviously the login credentials are password protected).

I know, the 'stand alone password-managers' they all have their Android versions and Android browser.
However, by no means the browsers of the Android password managers can be compared with the 'normal' browsers.

Thanks!

Use a master password) are tagged.

I'm not 'up' on a lot of what you posted... I don't sync .... but since you use the Master PW function in Win10 Firefox 'maybe' that is causing an issue with not allowing syncing of pw's? ... just thinking.
