I went to "clear recent history" and chose "everything" on "time range to clear." Now my passwords do not autofill anymore. There are still saved in the "Options" tab.

I have been using Firefox for many years. Everything that was posted is done and was done. I do not use private browsing and the settings are and have been set as stated above.
