It seems to be impossible to disable this popup, certainly for security reasons. And I don't find any add-on which do it. Sorry…

A detail like a website remembering you (log you in automatically) is stored in a cookie.

You can use these steps to make a website recognize and remember you:

  • Create a cookie 'allow' exception to keep such cookies, especially in case of secure websites and when cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
  • Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: Exceptions

If you are in a Private Browsing mode window then Firefox won't offer to store a new password or update a stored password, so you can consider to access such a website in a PB mode tab/window.

You can use an extension to get Private Browsing mode support per tab.
