I often remote into other PC's as part of the job, and despite selecting Not Now when Firefox asks me if it should remember the username & password, if I close the browser completely, fire up a new instance, then put in the URL of the site, Firefox will log into the website WITH MY CREDENTIALS, when it was told specifically, "Not Now".

This has happened on a number of PC's and has caused problems in the past but I shouldn't have to make it part of my support routine to go into Saved Passwords and check for/remove my own credentials when I told Firefox not to save them already.

I don't want to select "Never Remember" because the normal user of that PC should be allowed to save their login details, and Never Remember seems to operate on the URL not on the username & password, and stops remembering any logins for the whole URL, and it is required that others credentials are remembered and used, just not mine !

Would appreciate comment from someone who is particularly knowledgeable on the Firefox "Not Now" and "Never Remember" options for the semi-automatic Save Password functions.

TIA.

A site may bypass login if either:

  • Firefox's password manager, or another password manager, supplies your username and password for you
  • the site has set a persistent cookie which allows the site to recognize you without having to enter your username and password

To check on the first issue: You can view saved logins in Firefox's password manager here:

"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options

In the left column, click Security. Then on the right side, find the "Saved Logins" button. If you click that, is a login saved for that site? If so, you could remove it.

If you use any other password manager, you'll need to check it using whatever methods it provides.

If the problem isn't a password manager: Most likely it's a cookie. To invalidate a saved cookie, log out when you are done using the site.

You have the option of using the Private Window option. Nothing is recorded.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/private-browsing-use-firefox-without-history Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history

Firefox Private Browsing is great for viewing websites without saving things like cookies, temp files, and a history of the pages you visit.
