How do I stop Firefox entering my username and password into other fields on pages that are not the log-in page?

On a website I need for my work, I must log-in with username & password. Firefox remembers my name & password perfectly. However, in another section on that same website, when I am filling in calendar information, it enters my my username in the "Location" field. Unfortunately, that is my work ID which is confidential. When I don't notice, it posts it on the very public calendar. Also, it enters my password into a password field (masked), so that no one can rsvp.

It doesn't appear that I can edit the Saved Passwords/Exception in Firefox Options, so I am looking for suggestions!

I want the saved name password at http://workname.com but not incorrectly at http://workname.com/info/*.*

If there is a password field on a web page and you have saved a password then Firefox may try to fill that password and enter the name in the field just above that password field.

You can look at:

You may want to disable saved form fill to prevent Firefox from filling the name.
