Firefox stopped filling in the passwords I had already saved and the login options are greyed out even if I'm not using private browsing. What's going on?

Do you possible an active policy that disables the Password Manager ?

You can check the about:policies page (63+) to see if policies are active.

Do you possibly have other external Password Managers installed in Windows ?

I can see the greyed out options are disabled in the policies, is there something I can do on my own or should I refer to my system admin?

Go to your system admin and see what they say. It might be disabled due to a system policy set by your system admin.

If you have a policy that disables the Password Manager and possibly other features in Firefox. then you will have to contact the system admin.
