We have login/password saved for a particular site. When we change info in a field within that site we're asked if we want to update the password, even if the field isn't a password field. How do we prevent this?

Is that coming from FF or the site? I have FF save my passwords to various sites but when I change password I don't get anything like what your getting.

Thanks for your reply. It's coming from FF. It seems that FF is seeing form fields as password fields when those form fields aren't actually password fields (name, zip code, etc.). It's in a customer management system. When I change a customer's name or zip code I'm asked "Would you like Firefox to save this login for mozilla.org?" After a suggestion from someone else I was able to work around the problem by clicking the drop down arrow in the popup asking "Would you like Firefox to save this login for mozilla.org?" The drop down gives the option to Never Save. What added to my problem is that FF on the computer I was originally using doesn't give the drop down menu arrow even though it's the same FF version as other computers I've tried since then.
