How can I set autosuggest login data (username & pasword) based on exact url, not only to look at the *.domain.com/*?

What do I mean: When I surf to domain.com sub1.domain.com sub2.domain.com sub1.domain.com sub1.domain.com domain.com/login1 domain.com/ADMIN/login2

on every url I get a full suggestion list of all known user accounts based on *.domain.com/*. It used to be different in the past..(i think pre-lockwise)

What I would like to see back, is when you go to the exact url like domain.com/login, only the account(s) wil be suggested that is connected to this exact url (narrow down the list), and not all from *domain.

This also might prevent the annyoing masterpassword prompt that is asked on every new firefox surfsession, even when I don't want to log in, instead only when you do want to fill in a loginform it is promted. (used to work that way)

I hope that you understand my 'problem' and hoep there is an easy setting for this.

You can set signon.includeOtherSubdomainsInLookup = false on the about:config page.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can click the button to "Accept the Risk and Continue".
