Every time I log into any web site I use regularly and which requires a password, Firefox pops up the "would you like to update the saved password" box, even though the password is already saved. Is there any way I can stop this, without disabling password saving altogether?

Many thanks.

1.Clean any saved password you have for the affected website. 2.Install the "Saved Password Editor 2.7.1" addon. 3.Have Firefox save the wrong password once. 3.Go into the addon's personalized password manager. 4.Edit the password and save the popup as an image for future reference. 5.Clean any saved password you have for the affected website (again). 6.Go to the website, log in and this time, refuse to save the password. This will put the website on the exception list. 7.Go into the addon's personalized password manager. 8.Create a new saved password and enter the informations as stated in the printscreen from previous step, but input the right password.

This usually happens if JavaScript runs on the page that modifies the login form before submitting the form. Firefox sees that something has changed in the form and offers to update what is currently stored in the Password Manager. If this is the case then there is not much that you can do about it.
