I go to Options and check the box to Remember Passwords, but then I close Firefox, wait 10 seconds, reopen, and the box is unchecked. How do I fix this? about:config?

If you have accidentally removed bookmarks then use "Organize > Undo" in the bookmarks manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) to get them back.

The Organize button is the first of the three buttons on the toolbar in the Library (Bookmarks Manager).

That only works if you haven't closed Firefox.

If it didn't work then you can restore the bookmarks from a JSON backup.

This will replace all current bookmarks and you lose bookmarks that were added since that backup was created.
