I want the Firefox Browser to automatically ask to save my login details for the websites I visit, however each time I close the browser, I must then manually go to "Logins and Passwords" --> "Options" --> "Ask to save logins and passwords for websites" the next session for it to save my login details again. That is, the "ask to save" box seems to uncheck itself each time I closer my browser. I did not have this issue on my previous computer using Firefox so I'm unsure why it's happening now. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You can't have multiple Password Managers enabled at the same time, so if you have others like RoboForm or Trend Micro Password Manager then the builtin Firefox Lockwise Password Manager will be disabled.

If you have the "Trend Micro Password Manager" installed then uninstall this application via the Windows Control Panel.
