latest version of firefox will not let me save a password on a new website, it has always worked before, see image for settings. website is not included in exceptions

I am running Firefox 145.0 on a Windows 10 desktop PC. Even though I am using an external Password Manager (DualSafe Password Manager), Firefox keeps asking to save passwords. When I look at the privacy & Security section in Settings, Ask to save passowrds is ticked and also greyed out. To access the setting, I have to disable DualSafe. The setting becomes accessible and unticked. I then re-enable DualSafe. If I then close Firefox, the setting is re-ticked and greyed out when I start Firefox again. Can anyone suggest how I can fix this?

In this version, do I still have another account and password from other application that already saved before in the past version?

On my previous laptop using Windows 11, a dialog box would open when I entered a username and password while online, asking if I wanted to save the username and password. On my brand new laptop, that dialog box does not come on screen. Id like to be able to store that info so I don't have to enter it each time.

Thanks!

Hola, Gerardo.

Gracias por tu respuesta.

Primero antes de responder a tus preguntas le digo que inicio sesión con, Chrome sin problemas sin tener que teclear la complicada contraseña, cuando inicio sesión con FireFox tengo que abrir fichero encriptado donde tengo todas mis contraseñas, copiar y pegar, obviamente este problema es porque FireFox no guarda contraseñas.

Respondo a tus preguntas.

1) borro todas las carpetas de FireFox y limpieza del registro de Windows, con el programa Ccleaner

2) uso la cuenta de FireFox sin sincronizar. (siempre lo he hecho así, sin problemas)

3) Como bien sabes al iniciar instalación nueva FireFox dice crear nuevo perfil, clic en aceptar, Termina la instalación y el problema persiste. Antes de la actualización guardaba contraseñas. Es la primera vez que pasa este problema, llevo utilizando FireFox más de 30 años. Antes de actualizar a versión 14.03 no había problemas de contraseñas

Le envio captura de pantalla importación de contraseñas, como puedes ver se ven todas y al cerrar FireFox y abrir las contraseñas desaparecen, como puedes ver en la otra captura de pantalla

Gracias.

After every restart, all passwords are gone and I have to re-import them from a file. What's that about? It happens after every Firefox update. So I have to quit Firefox and reinstall it.

how to save my passwords? Like gmail, and facebook, and other sites? When i use Safari the passwords are automaticaly saved. In Safari I don't need an special configuration,but in firefox all of my passwords are Lost. How i do in a correct way?

MacOS Ventura 13.7.8.

I am trying to switch from DuckDuckGo to Firefox browsers.

Firefox is not remembering and auto-filling passwords.

I appear to have all the proper checkboxes checked in Settings.

I exported 1260 passwords from DuckDuckGo. Upon importing the resulting .CSV file (which contains hundreds of passwords), Firefox reports ZERO imports!

I can edit the .CSV file as necessary, but Settings help does not document the required schema.

So how can I import my passwords from DuckDuckGo, which appears to be a Firefox fork?

Based on my settings, is there some reason Firefox is not remembering passwords I've entered? I've been using it for a couple weeks, and have manually entered MANY passwords, but it shows only one, from way before I started using it! If I try to delete passwords, it asks if I want to delete "167 passwords", but when I ask to see them, it shows only that old one.

I did use Firefox years ago; is there some preference file I should delete to make password-filling work again?

I'm fairly computer savvy, but this is becoming frustrating!

Thanks!

Firefox is not saving my passwords. Every time I start up my laptop, all the saved passwords are gone. I have tried a refresh and a new install as well, but the problem persists. I have to sync to my other machine to restore them.
