How to add a website to the exceptions list for password saving
I've got a very similar problem to this one: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1096591
I also want Firefox to automatically save my passwords for most of the websites I go to, but not for the one of my banking account. However, when I open the login screen of my bank's website, a password is already filled in (fortunately, not the right one), but I still would like this field to be empty and for Firefox never to save passwords for that website. But everytime I log in, the Key-icon next to the adress bar asks me whether I want to update my password, and the only other option I get is 'Not now'.
So how do I get this website to the option 'Never save passwords for this website' if it doesn't show up in the Key-icon?
ps. I tried the about:permissions suggestion that was mentioned in the link I posted, but as was already said, this page is discontinued. I also tried the cookie exception option but this didn't change anything.
pps. My Firefox is set in Dutch, so I might not be using the right terms
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello Elianna, open the Options menu (3-bar menu on your right up) choose Security > in Logins check the Remember logins for sites and > click Exceptions to add your exception site > close the tab an now clear both cookies and the cache.
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
- Click the menu button
, choose History, and then "Clear Recent History...".
- Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
- Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
- From the details list, check Cache and Cookies and uncheck everything else.
- Now click the "Clear Now" button.
Exit firefox and restart it. Any luck ?
Thank you.
Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop-down list:
- click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop-down list
- highlight an entry in the drop-down list with the mouse or cursor Down key
do not click the mouse or press the Enter key - press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to delete the highlighted entry

It is possible that the website just fills those fields with some dummy values if they are pre-filled when you visit a page with a login form.
Note that a detail like a website remembering you (log you in automatically) is stored in a cookie. You can remove the Cookies from a website to make the website forget about you like posted above.
Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and software installation and exception for password and other website specific data
