How can I permanently save my option to "Ask to save logins and passwords for websites"
In Options, Forms & Passwords, when I select "Ask to save logins and passwords for websites," it will fill in passwords for saved sites. When I close Firefox, and reopen, it doesn't remember this setting and doesn't fill in my passwords. I have to manually select this option again and reload the page. How can I get this option to save permanently?

The link you gave was what I read before I submitted the question.
As an experiment, I tried launching Firefox in Windows by right-clicking the icon, "run as administrator." I selected the option, and when I closed and reopened Firefox, it saved the setting permanently.

Where is this icon "run as administrator"
Note that some external Password Managers (Roboform, Trend Micro) can cause this issue to happen.
