Firefox does not remember and ask to remember passwords, even though the box at "Tools>Options>Security" is checked and there are no site exceptions. It also won't kepp me logged in if I tick "keep logged" on a website (e.g. Facebook)
Tools>Options>Security - Remember Passwords box is ticked. No exceptions are added No master password set
There is nothing in the saved passwords list.

Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode.
- You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
- To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
- Uncheck: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

This solved the problem. Than you very much, cor-el!
You're welcome
The above solved the problem for new passwords / sites, thank you! But now I am not able to change / edit my old passwords to sites already in the password manager. I used to be able to do so. Any suggestions to solve?
