Why is Firefox's logins option greyed out?

I would like Firefox to remember my logins information but when I checked Options > Security, I found out that one of the options saying "Remember logins for sites" is greyed out and I cannot activate it. Please advise.

NB. "Use a master password" is NOT greyed out however.

hello, firefox won't save your passwords when you've set it up to run in permanent private browsing mode ("never remember history" in the options > privacy panel).
