Firefox is remembering logins and passwords even when I've set the options to clear them when I exit. I access confidential sites and do not like this. How can I turn off this feature?
I want all passwords, browsing history, everything to clear when I shut down. Currently, it maintains my logins for certain sites. Due the confidentiality of my work, I do not want this to happen. I went to options and set it to clear upon closing, but that is not working.

If you mean websites remembering you by saving cookies via session restore then you can try this.
You can set the pref browser.sessionstore.privacy_level to 2 (never) or 1 (non-HTTPS, default in Firefox 3 versions) on the about:config page to disable saving cookies via session restore.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
