Is there an equivalent to about:permissions in the Android browser?

I want to prevent FF on Android from continually asking if I want to save a 'password' on a secondary sign in page (mother's maiden name; that sort of thing). I found out how to do this in the desktop browser, by using about:permissions and changing the permissions for sites that have this two step log in. I would love to be able to do it on my phone and tablet too!

If you use sync, there is a preference on the Desktop that sets up Firefox to remember form information. Control whether Firefox automatically fills in forms with your information

There is also a feature I noticed on the 32 update, if you tap on the the dot menu or on other devices it is the soft button to the left of the hardware button, and select "Page" then "Edit Site Settings" it seems to be similar to about:permissions or page info associated. (I tried this on google login and after "remembering password" in the Site Settings menu "Save Password" was listed, however to prompt a secondary form I am not sure)

However to do this on an Android device a work around may be necessary as deleting individual pieces of history is currently not a feature in Firefox for Android.
