How can I turn off asking me to save a password when I NEVER want to save a password ever anywhere?

I am using my work computer to log into gmail, aol, etc. via Firefox. And because of security, I NEVER want Firefox to save a password for any website I log into. Consequently, every time I log into anything via Firefox I get that annoying drop down menu asking if I want to save the password, never save the password or not now. If there a way for me to turn this off completely and stop asking me that and NEVER save a password?

Check a setting.

  1. click either:
    • Firefox button > Options > Options > Security
    • Tools > Options > Security (if using the Menu Bar)
  2. if "Remember passwords for sites" is checked, un-check it
