Using about config to disable password for logins
Hi All,
I managed to find one or two posts relevant to my question, however I have tried these settings and they can still be changed by the user.
What I wanted to know is, when going under the FireFox options > Security, is there a way to totally disable the "Remember logins for sites"? I know this can be unticked and have found an option in about:config - signon.rememberSignons;false. All this seems to do is untick it but still allows the user to go in and tick the box again.
I have also found the following preference; signon.autofillForms;false and this helps in someway as when I try to login to services that require a username/password it no longer asks to save the credentials or prompt you with any that it has saved previously when clicking on the box to type it in.
Is there anyway I can totally disable the "Remember logins for sites" option by greying it out or atleast preventing users from ticking it again?

cor-el thanks very much for your post as I have now managed to disable the "remember logins for sites" and it now greys it out and prevents any credentials from being saved.
