    How come it's so easy to save userids and passwords in Firefox on a PC,
    but so complicated or impossible to do on my Android phone.

    Using Firefox, the phone never asks if I want to save my login info.

    First of all synchronise everything across all devices you use by using
    the Mozilla cloud. Everything is encrypted.

    Then:
    Hamburger menu in FF - Settings - Passwords - First setting (Save
    passwords).

    Activate the second item as well (automatic fill)

    It worked well just now for Fedex, so I'm not concerned about what
    follows, but for the record, I don't find these things in my FF on my
    phone. I don't even see a hamburger. I see three dots and it offers a settings page with a password page, but only to look at the last of
    passwords already saved. Yet it worked well for Fedex. Good enough.

    This is it!
