I have the same problem with Sea Monkey on two machines, with variations in the operating system and the current version of Sea Monkey.  

First machine, Windows 7 Professional 64 bit Version 6.1 Build 7601 Service Pack 1

User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:18.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/18.0 SeaMonkey/2.15.1
Build identifier: 20130118191213

When I follow either of the options in Help get to Manage Passwords using either the Edit>Preferences or Tools>Password Manager paths, I get to the Data Manager screen.  The only tabs are the tabs for Cookies, Permissions, Preferences, and Passwords.  No "Passwords Never Saved" tab as indicated in Help.

Second machine:  Windows XP Professional 32 bit, Version 5.1, Build 2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr12081-1629:Service Pack 3
Same user agent and build identifier above except for thr part specifying the version of Windows.  Same behavior.

I wanted to remove a website from the Passwords Never Saved list, but there was no corresponding tab on either machine.

Well, in Help after search for "passwords" at hit "Managing Stored Passwords" under heading "Viewing and Managing Stored Passwords" I read in the paragraph below listing: "Click the Passwords Never Saved tab to see a list of the websites for which you instructed Password Manager never to store user names and passwords. "

a) So effect is REPRODUCIBLE with EN-US SeaMonkey 2.33.1 (German Language pack)  Gecko/20100101 Build 20150321194901 (Default Theme) on German WIN7 64bit 

b) Someone will have to find out whether Help or UI is wrong

c) currently I do not know how to instruct password manager 
   "never to store user names and passwords."

Attachment: Screenshot of old PM

In the screenshot you see that SM 2.0 had that TAB.

[Rainer Bielefeld]

this might be a serious problem. Steps how to reproduce:

1. In browser go to <https://acsiclubid.acsi.eu/>
2. click "log in"
3. Into appeared log in data view type username "[e-mail]" and password "z"
   [login]
   » login process starts, PW-Manager message appears
4. In dropdown select "Never save passwords from this site"
   » PM-message disappears, login will have failed
5. Try again from 2
   As expeccted now in step 4 no Password Manager message will appear, it will
   be impossible to save passwords for this site.

a) bug what If you rcange your mind and want to save a password? I did not find 
   any possibility how to delete "never save" status

b) As expected with SM 2.0 Portable I was able to remove "acsiclubid.acsi.eu"
   from PM-TAB "Never Save ...", and afterwards PM again was active for that
   site.
c) very old regression
d) currently that seems serious to me, because I can not find out how to
   get PM back for a site what has been marked "never save ..."

e) Still reproducible with EN-US SeaMonkey 2.38a1 build by Ruediger Lahl, 
   Gecko/20100101, Build 20150531140409 (Default Theme) on German WIN7 64bit

Windows 7
SeaMonkey 2.26.1

With the Password Exporter extension installed, I go to [Edit > Preferences > Privacy & Security > Passwords] and select the Import/Export Passwords button.  On the Import/Export Passwords popup, I select the View Saved Passwords button.  I get the old Passwords Manager window, which includes a Passwords Never Saved tab.  No, that does not solve this bug; but it does show that the necessary capability still exists somewhere in the Passwords Manager code.  

NOTE:  I am sticking with SeaMonkey 2.26.1 until saved passwords can
be used when autocomplete=off.  See
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=433238>.  Supposedly, this will be fixed with mozilla38.
