For now, I recommend not using the Floorp provided options. Follow the steps for Getting Started and use the user.js. Then add the override to enable the password manager at the bottom.

Note: Betterfox is for Firefox officially, not Floorp.

As the project grows, I should re-consider moving the password manager setting to Optional Hardening instead of disabling it by default.

To explain more details:
"Yokoffing Securefox" --> "Apply" --> "Ask to save logins and passwords for web sites" --> tab is changed to OFF (as should)
Manually I can change it to ON, it remain ON after restart.

"Yokoffing Default" --> "Apply" --> "Ask to save logins and passwords for web sites" --> tab is changed to OFF (as should)
Manually I can change it to ON, it's switched back to OFF after restart. So I'm unable to change these settings after applying Yokoffing Default

If I do changes manually in user.js then it works fine after Floorp restart, BUT only for one session, another restart and user.js is overwritten unfortunately with default Yokoffing settings.

Okay, thank you.
I'm aware of fact that Betterfox is for Firefox and not for Floorp. Thank you for growing this project and making it possible unofficially.
Your manual instruction for Firefox does work for Floorp, just tested.

I went a bit further with testing Yokoffing:

  1. In Floorp --> "Yokoffing Default" --> Apply, then confirmed "OK" in warning box:

Applying a new user.js will overwrite your current user.js file.
Please back up your current user.js file before continuing.

I had no user.js to backup as it wasn't there. Floorp originally is installed without it, however warning box appeared. Now, after Yokoffing, in Floorp profile folder new user.js file was created, previously was no user.js file at all in here.
I'm unable to change content in this user.js file, every single time when Floorp is restarted, user.js is re-created with content of "Yokoffing Default" options and my changes are simply wiped from user.js.
2. Copied in to safe place above user.js which was created by "Yokoffing Default" (untouched).
3. In Floorp --> "Floorp Default" --> Apply, then again confirmed "OK" in warning box:

Applying a new user.js will overwrite your current user.js file.
Please back up your current user.js file before continuing.

Now in Floorp profile folder user.js file completely disappeared. No user.js file in folder at all, even if Floorp notified:

Applying a new user.js will overwrite your current user.js file.
Please back up your current user.js file before continuing.

So at this point settings options must be kept elsewhere then, but by above steps I was able "virtually" copy/paste Yokoffing user.js
4. Copied back to Floorp Yokoffing user.js from step two, now when Yokoffing is not in use really, but "Floorp Default" in use.
5. Restart
6. Done. Now changes made in Floorp regarding saving passwords still doesn't "save" after Floorp restart, however any new changes in copied Yokoffing user.js (incl above password options) does the job and does make changes to Floorp. I noticed this way Yokoffing user.js don't get overwritten. File keep saved changes after restart, changes are noticeable in Floorp, so here is the way of doing it manually with original Yokoffing file of Floorp. So, by this I understand that there is no problem in Yokoffing user.js itself, but somewhere in Floorp or procedure of adding Yokoffing.
