Firefox saves my passwords but why isn't it saving an exception for a website where I don't want its password saved?

I generally get Firefox to save all my logins and passwords. However, I have several websites excepted. Recently, I tried to enter another 'exception' but Firefox isn't registering it i.e. it opens that logon page with all the details, including password, already entered, despite multiple attempts to have it saved as an exception.

When the save-password popup is displayed, you can select "never". After that, I think there will be no more popup for password saving.

Thanks, but it doesn't solve the problem. It would work for any new 'exceptions' but in this case, the password is already saved and is already inserted automatically. I want to 'unsave' it.

Then you can go to menu -> passwords, and find the entry to delete it.
