Just got a new computer, installed firefox, copied over passwords but every morning I have to go into password options and check the box saying Ask to save logins and passwords for websites" it will not suggest saved passwords unless this is checked. It works fine all day, next day sign in and it has to be checked/selected again... why wont it save my setting???"Never had this issue before.

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.


Macs: Make sure you install Firefox properly and that you do not run Firefox from within the DMG (Disk Images) file. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-download-and-install-firefox-mac

You can't have multiple Password Managers enabled at the same time, so if you have others like RoboForm or Trend Micro Password Manager then the builtin Firefox Lockwise Password Manager will be disabled.
