Firefox does not ask if I want to save a new password anymore. And I DO want to save passwords periodically.

A pop up used to show asking if I wanted Firefox to remember password. I don't see this anymore. What happened? I am unable to add it to my save password file under security.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

  • https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
  • You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
  • To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
  • Deselect: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"
