Passwords

[iflog]

I don't remember what I did but I cannot get Firefox to save passwords. I know I did something in the config to launch Firefox in private mode always. Can I get Firefox to save passwords while in private mode somehow? If not, how do I change it temporarily to accept new logins to site? Thank you.

Open the site outside of Private Mode, save the password, then go back to Private?

I suggest you try a third party encrypted password manager.

Recently I moved to Bitwarden. It has impressed me to the point of amazement.

It's open source and free. Premium accounts offer additional features I have not needed.
Software interface is clean, simple and easy to use. No need to trawl manuals before getting started.

Channels on all platforms are consummately covered from a single account:
--Web console
--Desktop - Linux, Mac, Win
--Browser extensions - FF, GC, etc
--Android and iOS devices

Login credentials stored in encrypted online vault. You only need to remember one strong password or pass-phrase.

Using FF extension I can login to any site with stored credentials with a couple of clicks. Yes, amazing.

Bitwarden is more powerful and more versatile than storing login credentials in FF.

Probably
browser.privatebrowsing.autostart
is set to true

If you are in PB mode then you can't store a new login automatically, but you can still use "Create New Login" in Lockwise.
