what can cause "Would you like to update the saved password?" When there is no password saved?
Lately, I am seeing this prompt for "Would you like to update the saved password?" when I log into password protected sites, where there is actually no saved password. Like the Bank of America site, I don't want the browser to save the password. What would cause this? I can just envision me clicking YES to update the saved password, then I have just somehow sent my password to hackers. Is this a known issue, or am i looking at a possible security breach here?

Firefox shows this notification if you use the Password Manager to fill the name and password and you change/modify the password that was previously saved. This can also happen if there is a script running that modifies the password field.
You may disable the remember password incase it's needed by doing the foll:
Tools-> Options -> Security -> Uncheck remember passwords for site.
You can inspect and manage permissions for all domains on the about:permissions page.
