not saving passwords
ASUS Laptop. WIn 10. Avast Antivirus. Malwarebytes Anti Malware. Zone Alarm Firewall.
Firefox will remember passwords. But - when "Never remember passwords for this site" is selected, the condition only remains active for the current session of Firefox. If Firefox is stopped, then restarted, the dialog box for Remember/Never Remember re-appears. The listing of sites for never remember shows the site that was saved, but Firefox ignores the saved site and continues to ask the question.
Very frustrating!

In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" or otherwise clear history.
- do not clear the Site Preferences
- Options/Preferences -> Privacy -> Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" -> Settings
- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/remove-recent-browsing-search-and-download-history
- clearing "Site Preferences" clears exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and software installation and exception for password and other website specific data
- clearing cookies will remove all selected cookies including cookies with an "Allow" exception you may want to keep
If you use cleanup software like CCleaner or your security software includes this feature then check the settings for the Firefox application.
