Not Saving Login & Password
I tell firefox to save login and password for my homepage and yahoo on my desktop. But if I turn off the computer the next time I log in the username and password are not saved, even though I told it to save it the day before. Settings are set right in Privacy and Security. Have this problem on my desktop, running Win 10, using Norton Security, but do not have issue on laptops. Please advise on how to get Firefox to save login and passwords for this computer.
