FireFox Quantum (Ver 59) does not ask to save a new Login and Password for existing site. Problem is two different accounts at same site. FF-Q sometimes fails to ask to store Login-ID and Password for a New website.

FireFox Quantum allows you to edit an existing stored site's Login and Password. However, FF-Q does not offer a way to manually add a Website. Or duplicate an existing Website, from which you could then manually change Login ID and Password.

The Mozzila suggested FireFox Add-on does not work with FireFox Quantum.

The company that owns LastPass and Xmarks, is dropping Xmarks and disabling accounts. As such LastPass is no longer a safe bet. Being the company didn't warn customers for months about Xmarks, and instead left them hanging from time FF-Q was released. Using other such companies password managers is questionable too.

Thus need for a way to manually add Website, Login, and Password to FireFox Quantum's own storage system.

Are you using any password programs/add-ons?

Type about:preferences#security<enter> in the address bar. Look under Logins,

Press the Exceptions button and see what's inside.

I need a way to Manually Add Website / Login ID / Password.

FireFox Quantum's automated "Remember Logins" is turned on. One problem with FF-Q is automated system is it will not ask to store a Different Login ID for an already stored Website. Even though it supposed to. Other Problem with FF-Q is automated system is it does not always ask to store a New Website.
