    Go to Options (either from the Tools menu or the Hamburger), Privacy & Security, click "Saved Logins...". In the new tab on the bottom left is an option to manually create logins.

    Why don't you use a true password manager ?

    Did you look at the uploaded picture? there is no "Add credentials".

    But there actually was a solution.... There is an Ff add-on to save passwords, with a link that appears in the address bar.
    If you click it after filling in the login, it will finally make the firefox pop up appear (top left) that asks if you want to save the login, and it then is...

    why always make life so difficult
    A few clicks and everything is fine
    Open the menu at the top right (the three lines)
    Access data and passwords (bottom left)
    Add credentials (click)

    ain't challenging your decision, but do you really wanna entrust mozilla with your passwords?

    Are you stating that you would trust Bing or Google with your data more than Firefox?

    First of all, what Joe C says happens to be the reality.
    The other thing is, that f.e. one can use an OLD Ff without the telemetry garbage like 52.9, or, block Mozilla in the FIrewall

    And, just by the way.... should someone take over my computer... that this person (or government) maybe reading my mails, will probably be one of the minor problems. :eek:

    What I find puzzling is, why on both my computers "Add new login" does not appear...
    One uses the updated Ff esr and one another Ff, yet on both no add new login, as the picture I uploaded shows.... :confused:

    Well, that might be the actual meaning of the exercise - using a Firefox version of before it became complete crap.

    this was totally uncalled for.

    b.t.w. it was an ID10T error right? you were looking in the wrong place weren't you? :p

    if your problem has been solved kindly mark the thread as solved or make a post regarding the same, before you start another post asking for help.

    no solutions only potshots :rolleyes:
