Sorry you are having this problem - do you have a "primary password" set in Firefox? I suspect you don't, but would like to check.

I do not have a master password.

The fact this is happening on a newly reset Windows is very odd - it often means something in the profile has become corrupt, but that seems unlikely on a brand-new profile? Did you set any preferences using about:config from any guids on the Internet? (Some of them are misguided and disable important functionality, including the login store).

Otherwise I'm afraid I don't have any real advice other than to try deleting a few files in your profile, but that's quite advanced and not something that we should undertake lightly.

I did not use any guides during installment. Used Microsoft Edge to download Mozilla, then downloaded everything else that I wanted from there. (Adobe, Discord, ect.)
