If "Ask to save logins and passwords for websites" is greyed out, how do I disable (uncheck) "Autofill logins and passwords"?
Anyone?

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".

Thanks so much, McCoy and cor-el, and apologies for the trouble.

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 !
