Firefox Password Prompt: How To Manage Saved Passwords

When you enter your login credentials in a website or mail account like gmail, hotmail etc, Firefox prompts you with a question “Do you want Firefox to remember this password?”. If you say yes, then the next time you want to log into the same website, your password is automatically entered in the field by Firefox. This feature is of great convenience when you check your emails regularly or browse sites regularly that require you to log in.
However sometimes you may come across a situation where you want to remove a saved password of a site. Also you may have accidentally clicked on “Never for this site” to Firefox’s prompt to remember a password for a site and later wished to undo this action. Let us look at how to manage this feature of Firefox for these two scenarios.
