Under Tools, Options, Security; how do I add a site to the "exception" box to prevent a password from being saved?
I would like to add a site to the "exceptions" box under "tools", "options", "security". This is to prevent the computer from saving a password for that site.

Hello.
Exceptions can be added by replying "Never for this site" when Firefox asks you if you want to save a password. In the exceptions panel, you can only remove exceptions, not add.
Some sites (like and others) like PayPal, Yahoo, Windows Live and bank sites use autocomplete="off" to prevent Firefox from saving the name and the password.
If a site uses autocomplete="off" then look at this article for a bookmarklet to remove that autocomplete attribute. http://kb.mozillazine.org/User_name_and_password_not_remembered (bookmarklet) http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_Manager
