I can't find anywhere that I can "check off" that Firefox should NOT EVER save my security info like addresses, passwords, log-ins, etc., and also not keep bugging me about whether I want it to do so. AM I MISSING SOMETHING? If some combination of existing choices accomplishes this it is NOT clear in your settings even aftter reviewing the "Learn More" links.

    I realize there are a lot of lazy people out there for whom this is an attractive feature, and that it may increase your user base accordingly. However, you also need to recognize that you some Users are more security conscious and/or have confidentiality obligations, and  provide an option that allows them to maximize protection without wasting their time.  I cannot use Firefox as my default browser in the absence of a mechanism that NEVER saves such data and does not waste my time constantly asking me whether to do so. Please advise, and many thanks for your assistance. 

ADD'L: I also recently have had recurring problems using your application to access banking sites (including Synchrony, MidFirst, Ally, and others). Have updates been done to resolve these issues? many thanks.

Note: For Firefox v56+ its; about:preferences#privacy Look under Forms & Passwords +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Turn on/off Remember Logins. To check the passwords you have listed, press Saved Logins.

Press the Exceptions button and see what's inside.
