"remember password?" Pop up is irritating, comes up all the time with every site i login for. How do i turn it off without having it also deactivate remembering passwords for sites i have Firefox remember passwords for? Whats Up Firefox?!

If you turn off remembering passwords Firefox will not forget the ones you have entered already.

Thanks for your reply, but, well if i turn the feature off so that the ridiculous popup stops coming, it also prevents saved passwords to fav sites showing up when trying to login. Yes i know that Firefox wont forget saved ones, but in order for saved ones to work, I'll have to activate "remember passwords for sites", which unfortunately also brings back that ever-so visually annoying pop up. I'm aware of other methods of which i would not like to practice because i need to remember the different passwords to some sites and need to change passwords for other sties every so often, I just need to know if there is a script out there that i could plugin to just specifically prevent that pop up from ruining the firefox experience.

The method mentioned in the linked thread will allow you to for instance set a hotkey on the keyboard to turn passwords on and off.

If there were to be a script to block display of the message how would that help?

The message is a dialogue asking if you want to remember the password or not.

Blocking the message would simply help visually. It's just annoying how it's popping up all the time when i know i don't want it to remember the login info for whatever site it is i just logged in for. But deactivating it means i wont be able to automatically login to other site with saved login info. Though John99, Thanks heaps for your help. I really appreciate it. I assume that i could just live with it. I guess i was just blowing off some steam yesterday. Thank you once again.
