How do I stop Firefox from automatically filling in the spaces for my username and password on one of my password protected websites?

I have a password protected site at my Sacramento State University web site. Recently, last week I had a "Nerds On Call" technician update my virus protection. Now, I find when I click on the Sac State web site "Log In" function, I see my user name and password already entered in the provided spaces. I do not remember ever asking for that function to be automatically entered.

How do I get that back to "normal." How do I get Firefox from automatically filling in the spaces for my username and password on my Sacramento State University secure password protected site?
