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?
