I can not click and activate "Ask to save logins and passwords for web sites" option in Logins & Passwords under Privacy & Security. When I installed Firefox it used to automaticity asked me to save my login data on web sites. Suddenly the dialogue box stopped to appear and I can not reactivate it from the Option menu. I use Windows 10. Thanks a lot for your help

Hello freeride1,

Would you please make sure that you're not in permanent Private Browsing mode :

3-bar menu (or 'Tools') => Options => Privacy & Security => under 'History' => Firefox will : choose : 'Use custom settings for history' Uncheck : 'Always use private browsing mode'

Does that work  ?
