Password Manager software
You may have Password Manager software, maybe as a feature included in security software, that prevents Firefox from storing passwords. Check your Password Manager software settings. For more information, see Where are my logins stored?
Remember Password prompt is not displayed
Some graphics driver versions may have problems to display prompts. To see if this applies to you, follow the steps in Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems.
