What are you even talking about? I use LibreWolf with the Mozilla password manager. It's a one click enable
https://librewolf.net/docs/faq/
Do you even read the bullshit you linked? That's three lines of selfish nonsense telling me what's best for me. But if I missed something, I would love to hear from you how to enable password saving the old good firefox way.
On that page it gives the setting to enable Mozilla Sync
If you were remotely nontoxic, I'd copy and paste the setting for you
Instead of gaslighting me, you could share your great wisdom in this thread.
I honestly wonder if the OP in that thread is in good faith or has some other problem screwing up his config. No, neither FF nor LW randomly change settings on you; you have some process, somewhere, that is either corrupting the sqlite db or straight up changing the config.
Anyway, if you literally did a web search
how to enable mozilla sync in librewolfyou would get the correct answer, which works for 99.99% of people 99.99% of the time:
To enable Mozilla Sync in LibreWolf, go to the about:config page and set the option "identity.fxaccounts.enabled" to true. After that, you should be able to log in to your Firefox account and use the sync features.I don't understand why you're trying to steer the conversation toward mozilla sync for the second time, ignoring the original saving password problem. If I needed mozilla sync, I would use it. But I don't need it. I don't want it.
So that you don't make any assumptions, I'll just show you what the folks at librewolf have patched out in their struggle against suitable UI:
There is no way I know to have it back into the browser except to find and revert the patches and compile librewolf yourself.
