It might be because you have a preference disabled somehow.

I see that you have the preference browser.privatebrowsing.autostart set to true. That means Firefox starts up in Private Browsing mode automatically. That's probably why it's greyed out. Navigate to about:config in Firefox and search for browser.privatebrowsing.autostart and set it to false by double clicking it. That should work..

If it doesn't Go to about:config in Firefox then search for signon.rememberSignons and set it to true by double clicking it and see if that helps?
