Hello, I just noticed that my version of Firerfox 38 Beta 3 isn't saving passwords to sites that I use regularly. See picture and I'm unable to check Remember Password. Any suggestions or help with this minor issue? Thank You. David

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode (Never remember history).
