I work on a lot of different sites, and have about 120 Wholesale supply websites.

When I ask Google to save Log In details, I open the Supplier Page, and my details are already filled, and I just press log in and continue ordering.

With Firefox, I am having to do one of two things: 1. Open the Settings, Open Privacy & Security, and press the Save Passwords tick box EVERY SINGLE TIME - it does NOT stay ticked. I then have to KEEP THE TAB OPEN for it to be effective. 2. Or - I type in my ENTIRE emails address, find my passwords book, and type in the pertinent password for that site.

I much prefer to use Firefox, as I find Google invasive and controlling, but would very much like this problem to have a solution, please.

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

Thanks cor-el, I've signed out of Google, and use it only as Incognito now, so that shouldn't be trying to manage anything. I have Trend Micro Anti Virus, but haven't enable Password Manager ever. I do not have RoboForm to my knowledge.

I'll go have a steely glare at Trend to see if it's done anything sneaky, as that sounds worth a look.

Thanks heaps for your input!
