First, use the password manager to delete any existing entries for those sites. See Password manager - Remember, delete, change and import saved passwords in Firefox.

Then the next time you log in and get asked if you want Firefox to remember the password, click "Never for this site"

Chris : Password manager has nothing saved ... I never save things when prompted. It just goes ahead and drops down a menu of all the user names that start with the first letter I type. It happens EVERYWHERE !!!
