Firefox does not save manually inputted password/user id information from the web login page. It does if entered into password section in Firefox. I've checked the box under saved passwords but does not do anything. I used to be able to enter login information & PW and Firefox would ask "Do you want to save this PW?..."This would build the PW file. But, the only way I can do this is to manually enter data in the Mozilla application menu. What's wrong? thanks

I am having a problem with Firefox losing or not updating some saved passwords. It has always worked seamlessly in the past, but in the past couple of weeks (January 2025), several sites that I regularly visit and have saved passwords for (nothing financial; I never save that stuff) have not auto-populated the password field and I have had to change passwords. I did this on one site a couple of days ago, using my mobile and tablet (both Firefox web browsers), but when I went to log in to that site on my desktop Firefox browser today, it had not updated the password, and even when I typed in the new password, Firefox did not offer - as it normally would - to update the saved password. I was logged in to Firefox at the time, so my account was live. Anyone else having this problem? Or know why it's happening?
