You can turn off Firefox's password manager feature on the Options page, Security section. Either:

  • "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options
  • type or paste about:preferences in the address bar and press Enter

In the left column, click Security. Then on the right side, uncheck the box for "Remember logins for sites".

Success?
