Firefox 79.0 will not save login or password

Tried the solutions posted included starting Firefox in "Safe Mode" and it will not save either the login or password. Chrome 84.0.4147.105 has no problem saving both. Comments/suggestions?

The site in question is <https://nextdoor.com>

If Firefox doesn't offer to save the login (username and password) then you can create a new login yourself manually in Lockwise.

Cor-el's suggestion seemed to be the answer I needed. However, the key symbol doesn't appear in the address bar for me to force a login/password save. (:o(

This login form seems to be normal as far as I can tell (I see Fill Login and Fill Password in the context menu), but I haven't tried to fill the login form and check if Firefox offers to save the password.

Do you have this problem on more websites ?

Note that if you are in permanent Private Browsing mode (Always use Private Browsing mode; Never Remember History) then Firefox may not offer to store a new login.
