But does it work for non-website passwords like the PIN for the door at your workplace or the usernames and passwords for your computers?

Yes. You can add whatever passwords. It asks you for a URL but you can put anything in.

Well, that’s kind of the problem isn’t it?

Yes, you can put bogus URLs, but it’s far from a great user experience

Technically maybe someone could make you navigate to that url in the future, through mitm or some sort of DNS poisoning, and autofill a form with your password and then auto submit it.

Someone understands URLs! The URL will be 30 years old soon[0], and still many people don't know what it really is.

No end user understands URLs this way. Unless Firefox teaches them this, then this is nonsense

Why, though? Isn't it actually a good suggestion?

Not supported. It can't be anything.
