Firefox password manager re-enabled everytime Firefox updates.

Not sure if this is something everyone experiences but every time Firefox updates on my computer, the password manager goes back to default settings and starts prompting to save passwords again. I have disabled the darn thing countless times, but it always comes back alive after the browser restarts after an update. Why does this setting does not persists after an update and stays disabled? I have a Firefox account, and sync is on.

Here are some things that can cause the problem:

You are probably syncing your password in the Firefox account. If you don`t want to sync your password in Firefox account then turn off sync of Logins & Passwords from this page: about:preferences#sync

Plan B: If the password sync was not on and If you don`t want to use a password manager then uninstall Firefox reboot your computer and install it from the Firefox installer again. I think its a basic glitch because I have never faced this problem myself. Download Firefox: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox
