What permissions in particular are you interested in?

You can inspect permissions and cookies and passwords for the domain in the currently selected tab.

  • click the "Site Identity Button" (control center 'i' button) at the left end of the location/address bar
  • click the arrow to expand the security message
  • click "More Information" to open "Tools > Page Info"
  • click "Permissions" to inspect and modify permissions
  • click "Security" to inspect and modify cookies and passwords in a standalone window

Some background information about about:permissions:

  • bug 933917 - Remove about:permissions from Firefox (45+)

Sorry, that page was removed.

What did you want to do with passwords?

(1) You can clear saved logins you no longer want here:

"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options

In the left column, click Security. Then on the right side, find the "Saved Logins" button.

(2) You can modify individual site permissions here:

"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options

In the left column, click Security. Then on the right side, find the "Exceptions" button.

Does that help?

The about:permissions was discontinued as oif Firefox 45.0+ because it is missing a lot of settings since the new Options/Preferences in a tab.

Thank you all for your help but i want some more help If i have not saved a password for a site how can i save it ?

Usually Firefox will recognize when you are logging in and drop down a message from the address bar asking if you want to save the login. Have you noticed that on other sites, and it's just not working on one site, or do you never see that?

If you never see it, please check your settings on the Options page: Password Manager - Remember, delete and edit logins and passwords in Firefox.

I have noticed the address bar but i did not save the password how can i save it now?

Unless you told Firefox you would never want to save a password for this site, I think it will ask you again the next time. Could you try logging out and logging back in again?

Firefox normally shows a Key icon at the left end of the location/address bar when you have submitted a login form on the web page. You can click this icon to reopen the drop-down list if it is closed.
