On various websites, such as Pinterest, the entry passwords are added in pop up boxes. I cant get any to appear (I can on Safari) I have made these websites 'excepted' in security preferences, via the 'hamburger' top right, but no joy. If I click to bring up these password boxes, nothing happens. Thank you!

Is this with all websites, some, a few?

There are some web pages that do not allow browsers to record or fill in the log-in information.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

I simply reset Firefox
