Passwords not saving

I downloaded Firefox about 2 weeks ago. I imported my passwords, bookmarks, etc. from Chrome, but nothing had shown up. (I did the troubleshoot reset to fix the bookmark issue.) So I just figured I'd save them as I go. Every time I'm prompted to save my password, I do, but it's never actually saved. When I tried to manually enter the password, it says there's an error. I've checked the settings multiple times and everything is correct. I receive a little message at the top of the passwords' page, that says I need to log in, when I am, then that I need to log in with my primary password that was never set up. I've read all of the password help articles and nothing applies to my issues. I don't have any apps blocking it. (I do know on Edge and Chrome, I'm prompted to put in my desktop password but I don't get that on Firefox.) Is there something I can do to fix this? I want to use Firefox, but it's been too buggy from the get-go.
