Hi I have firefox quantum on my computer (I am not very computer savvy) but want firefox to save passwords for every site I log into for a short period. How?
is there any sort of add on or something I can do to temporarily save all passwords even if the website has autocomplete off

What do you mean, 'a short period of time' ? Firefox Password Manager should save all recorded passwords until you remove them.
Password Manager - Remember, delete, change and import saved passwords in Firefox
firefox is not saving a lot of website passwords. must be some safeguard restriction. But is there any way to force it to save all of them regardless going forward until yeh - I delete them??? tx!
Short of a refresh and a new Profile to see if it is the issue you can use a Password Manager like Norton (not shown) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?platform=windows&q=password+manager
If wanting to fix Firefox for the error on passwords : SAFE MODE
- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
In Firefox Safe mode these changes are effective:
- all extensions are disabled (about:addons)
- default theme is used (no persona)
- userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored (chrome folder)
- default toolbar layout is used (file: localstore-safe.rdf)
- Javascript JIT compilers are disabled (prefs: javascript.options.*jit)
- hardware acceleration is disabled (Options > Advanced > General)
- plugins are not affected
- preferences are not affected
TEST''''is issue still there ? What adblockers are you using as that could be the issue is your not getting the cookie to be able to set the password.
please try a Refresh but Note that this does more than uninstalling and re-installing does. Normal uninstalling does not remove some preferences which may have become corrupt. Please Refresh but do this 1st: Delete your Cookies and Cache and TEST.

then
TEST....... If no issues then Extensions which need to be added back in 1 at a time and tested ..... Or it is your Profile : Make a new one and test ...:
If is your Profile :

Note: Any customization will revert back to default, you will also need to reinstall Extensions.
Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

Would you please take a look at these articles :

and :
The Password Manager, as mentioned by FredMcD, should be able to do what you want, even if you only want to do this for a short period of time - in which case you can uncheck 'Remember logins and passwords for websites' (Options => Privacy & Security).
