Firefox Community Forum

I use a password manager and do not want firefox to save any passwords, but every time I enter a password in Firefox a popup asks if I want firefox to save the password. I know what should work to disable this option, however the option to check or uncheck "ask to save passwords" in settings/passwords is greyed out and cannot be checked or unchecked. (see attached screenshot) Is this because I have my password manager enabled? How do I correct this?

Thanks

I logged into my computer this morning and opened up Firefox, went to a online account to login and clicked on passwords from the sidebar and when it opened up it stated that I had no passwords saved and my profile had also been disconnected. I reconnected with my profile and all of my passwords are missing. Where are they?

I use Stockhouse.com as a homepage and when I opened my computer this a.m. the site came up and it asked me to sign in which it normally does these days and I click on sign in and it shows my email and password and I click again and I'm signed in. This morning it asked me to provide my email address and password i.e. fill in the blanks. It has not done that for at least 15 - 20 years. Not remembering offhand what my password was I clicked on the 3 line application tab in the top right hand of my screen and brought up the list which includes "Passwords". I clicked on the password file and it is blank. It has never been blank before -- did Mozilla/Firefox make a change that would make my password file disappear?
