I've specifically set my banks website listed as an option to not save the password.

This morning when signing into my bank the password field was populated and I discovered a saved password for that website within options.

This is unacceptable.

hello, firefox won't save any passwords unless it is expressively told to do so by a user. can you check in the password manager when the password for the site was stored for the first time (maybe before you have set the bank's site to never store passwords, because this won't affect existing stored credentials)?

danpbphoto, the user was asking about pre-populated password fields (that's what my answer was relating to). websites can also remember your login state through a cookie, but that's a different subject. please open a new question if you need help with that...
