Search tool for saved passwords on iOS

Search tool for saved passwords on iOS won't populate searches. When I go to Firefox settings to passwords it shows all of my usernames and passwords, it saves them just fine. But when I need to search for a password for a specific site, I enter that site in the "Filter" bar and Firefox reads back "No logins found." Now if I scroll and scroll to find the password, sure enough, there it is. For some reason Firefox will not populate search results in my passwords. I have found that if I type letter by letter very slowly (G *wait for G to populate*, O *wait for "GO" to populate*, O *wait for "GOO" to populate) that it will sometimes work.

Firefox is as up to date as possible. And I am currently updating iOS to see if that helps (as of 12/27)

I have exactly the same problem since Firefox iphone app was updated several weeks ago. Is there any news as to when it will be solved ? How can one revert to a previous version of Firefox for iphone ?

There is some work in progress on fixing problems with filtering the Logins/Passwords list. I can't tell how close to completion this is:

What I did was log out of Firefox iOS, deleted the app, re-downloaded app, logged back in. After that it works just fine.

Thanks very much. This solved it for me even without logging out of Firefox iOS before deleting the app.
