How do I get firefox to UN-remember passwords I asked it NOT to remember?

I have only a couple sites that I do not want my password remembered. Usually, I would just ignore the question box asking me if I want the password remembered/saved - but I finally clicked on the drop-down option and clicked on "do not remember this password, ever". From THAT MOMENT ON, it saved my login details for those sites. I cleared all my cookies on Firefox, & it's still there. Those sites ARE, however, noted as being on my 'exceptions' list for sites that Firefox will not remember; when I search the list of sites that have saved passwords, those few sites are not on that list - as they shouldn't be. So what gives? What's the point of a do not remember option if it's just another save button in disguise? Can someone tell me what I'm missing, or can do to unsave those details I want to keep private?

Are you sure that the passwords aren't in the Password Manager of Firefox and they're deleted out of Firefox? Do you have some kind of add-on installed on Firefox that saves passwords? Do you use Firefox Sync? Try this for me: delete the websites from the Password Manager exceptions, go to the websites that the passwords are saved for, log in to them, choose to save the password in Firefox, then go to Password Manager and delete them out of there.

You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.

Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.

You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.

It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.
