LastPass auto sign-in not retained
For past 3+ months I have had problems with FF "remembering" my login details for LastPass so that it auto opens when I open FF. Until the new FF (Quantum - I am now using v57.0.4 ) I managed various work-arounds. Despite scouring web, I cannot find a permanent solution to this problem, meaning everytime I go on to FF, I have to re-enter my LastPass log-in details. this is a pain in the rear, & consequently I am using chrome as my default browser - I would prefer to use FF, but not if the LP/FF interface is not going to work ... Is there something I (& countless others) have missed, or is it just not working, & will not be fixed. And please don't pass me off to LP!! thanks

"Countless others, doubt that as not heard from them." Try googling FF LP problems.
Starting in SafeMode as suggested, LP / FF was able to retain login details so that logging on & off allowed LP to open automatically on each FF log-in. I then went to set my Preferences under Options, including "Never Remember History". LP failure. Finally got LP working again between sessions with Customised History (see attached) after first trying "Remember History" which also resulted in LP working between sessions. NOT IDEAL in terms of Privacy.
But at least it works & means I don't have to migrate to the baddies.
I would also find it helpful if some of FFs answers/help files were written in a semblance of English, but appreciagte the pointers. thanks
