Firefox does not ask to remember a password again after "not now" button is pressed

I have multiple sites that I use frequently whose passwords firefox does not remember because the first time I used the site, I had the intent to change the password, so I pressed "not now", figuring I would log in later and firefox would ask to remember the password again. The only problem is that firefox NEVER asked to remember the password again. It now treats these sites as if there is an exception in the security options for them, but there isn't, so there is no way for me to remove it. I have tried clearing cache and cookies, reinstalling firefox, and even clearing all remembered passwords and exceptions already.
