If you enter a username and password on a site, Firefox asks you whether or not
to save the given combination of credentials. There is also an option "Never for
this site".
I often work on different worstations that have different Profiles and only one
standard-user but on the same sites as the default user of the given worstation
does. On those sites, I always have to click the "no"-button everytime I log in
to one of those sites. Now it happens that I'm in a hurry and click the wrong
button and then either my password gets saved on someone else's profile or the
other user's password gets erased depending on which *wrong* button I click.
So I thought: wouldn't it be great if there was a fourth button on said panel
that is named something like "never for this user" that would store my user name
and never bother me again. It would then be as if I always clicked no.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a site with a login form where you haven't clicked the "never for this
site"-button ever before.
2. Log in with any username/password-combination
3. Look in the appearing sheet for the "never for this user"-button

Actual Results:  
No "never for this user"-button appeared

Expected Results:  
There is a "never for this user"-Button

I've had this problem as well, but I think this is not an issue for average
users and the additional button may be confusing. Since it's more of an advanced
user issue, maybe this button should only appear when a certain pref is set
through about:config.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
