Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode (Never remember history).
- Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
- Deselect: [ ] "Always use Private Browsing mode"
What kind of problems do you have that you need to reset the password?
Is the password that is stored in the Password Manager and that Firefox fills automatically not working?

Thanks. I did the first option you suggested. The kind of problem is always on a mozilla.org site, like this one: support.mozilla.org, not on other sites. I am going to sign out then sign back in to see if it helps.
Ok! It worked-the first option you suggested. Thanks!
