Your screenshot shows that you have selected "Never Remember History". This means that Private Browsing mode is active and you can select "Remember History" to disable/exit Private Browsing mode.

Hello   jason,

If   "Ask to save logins and passwords for websites"   is greyed out, you're probably in permanent private browsing mode.

Would you please do this :

3-bar menu (or "Tools")   <big>→</big>   Options   <big>→</big>   Privacy & Security   <big>→</big>   under  "History":

Firefox will :  choose   "Use custom settings for history".

Uncheck    :   "Always use private browsing mode".

Speaking for myself :

Absolutely no need for apologies !

McCoy, when I initially searched for an answer to my question, I found your suggestion (explained by another user). The problem I ran up against is, when I click on the three-bar menu I don't see "options". Same thing under the "Tools" dropdown menu. I'm using Mac OS 10.15.4 and Firefox 75.

Aww,   my bad ....   I should have checked your system details.

On   Mac   "Options"  is   "Preferences"  -   my apologies  !
