Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode.
In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like saving new passwords are disabled.
You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed.

You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
You need an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep that cookie, especially for secure websites and if you let cookies expire when Firefox closes
In Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended.
Make sure that you do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"

Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and password exceptions.
