I have a required case sensitive password for a site. I "memorized" the password in Firefox. I used a lower case letter when i first imputed the password. (pelton) When I try to correct the error with a capital P (Pelton), firefox keeps changing it back to a lower case.

Make sure that you haven't saved Uppercase and Lowercase versions of that name and password.

Remove saved Password(s):

Basically, Firefox's insistence on using the capitalization it memorized -- and blasting it over the top of the capitalization I'm actually typing -- makes it so I have to use Safari sometimes (it's a long story so I deleted it below).

Firefox needs to give users the ability to not select the memorized words it forces on us when the capitalization isn't right for that field.
