Cannot Save Passwords With TOR

No matter what site I go to (even CHF) I cannot save the password for that site. I don't know if it is my Win 11 blocking that function, or it is Tor. There is a place in Tor for saved passwords, but I don't know how to save, as it does not save automatically. I looked at the registry in Win 11 but saw no function that is turned on to prevent saving of passwords. Thanks.

 

That is my problem. I already have that checked, and I still do not get a prompt to save passwords when I log in. That is why I thought maybe Windows was blocking the script in some way. Thanks.

 

I went directly to the Tor Community and this is what I found out when I asked if PWs can be saved:
"There is, but it could compromise you (depends on your threat model), and before we (Tor Browser) enable it, we need to do some engineering

If you open about:config (type that into the address bar and hit enter) you will see a search field where you can type certdb - in the example below it is default true (to help protect you)

If you double-click it, or click the icon to the far right (the double arrow thing), you can change it to false. Then restart the browser for it to take effect.

** THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED ** so the risk is up to you"

So given my level of incompetence, I believe I will use Fire Fox for everything that needs a password and use Tor for YouTube, which is what I do all day long anyway. I have a very low risk factor. I just like knowing there is an extra layer of security with Tor for trackers and such. Thanks for your help. I pasted the reply just for your information should anyone else ask about it.
