Hello. Sorry for my English.
I can't save the password in the browser for the google site.
For the other sites I had no problem. The browser doesn't ask me to save it.
Thanks for any help.

Hello,

You didn't paste anything in "troubleshooting information". The information is missing.

I just tried to sign in (into?) Gmail. Indeed, there was no password save prompt. Google websites are mostly designed for Chrome, unfortunately...

In part this is because gmail makes an effort to avoid browsers from storing passwords for it (e.g. by splitting the username and password entries into two different pages)
You can try to add a user/pass pair manually with a password editing extension; I do think it'll work for lookups.

Hi, Thanks for your help.

I tried to enter the passwords manually in the window but I couldn't find how to do it.
I'm a basic user, I don't have a lot of knowledge.
Change an existing password from another site with Google?
Thanks.

You cannot do that without an extension. Check here: https://addons.palemoon.org/extensions/ ... -security/

I can't test right now, but Classic Password Editor looks good.
