My passwords are all "saved", but the box that says "Remember logins and passwords for websites" always gets unchecked. There also is a whole page where other folks have the same problem/QUESTION, but NO ANSWERS

3-bar menu (or 'Tools') => Options => Privacy & Security => under 'History' => Firefox will : choose : 'Use custom settings for history' Uncheck : 'Always use private browsing mode'

Note: Some software, like Advanced SystemCare with Surfing Protection, can protect files in the Firefox profile folder against changes. If you have such software then check the settings or uninstall this software.

Are you using Roboform?

This is possibly a problem with the RoboForm Password Manager extension in case you use this Password Manager.

See:

The behavior described by you is by design in Chrome and Firefox.
A user can disable RoboForm extension to enable the built-in password manager in the browser.
The user is intended to use either at a time, not both.
