I went through the steps in comment #0 with the builds listed below and couldn't reproduce the original problem:
- http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2014-01-25-00-40-03-mozilla-aurora/
- http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2014-01-25-03-02-05-mozilla-central/

- Went through the original steps from comment #0 without any luck reproducing
- Logged into several websites (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn) and went through the test case in comment #0
- Ensured that selecting the saved username doesn't fill in the password when "Remember Password" has been turned off
- Ensured that opening websites (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn) doesn't have the passwords filled in when "Remember Password" has been turned off via the "Options" flyout
- Ensured that selecting the saved username fills in the password correct when "Remember Password" has been turned on (made sure it also logs in without issues)
- Ensured that if both Username/Passwords are filled in and than the user turns off "Remember Passwords", refreshing the website(s) will clear the saved password
- Ensured that the passwords are still saved when "Remember Password" is turned back on via the "Options" flyout (made sure passwords are not being cleared)
- Went through all of the above test cases different variations of snapped view

The only situation that remotely resembles the original problem from comment #0 is when you log off a website which will still display the username/password. Disabling "Remember Passwords" at that point won't clear the password automatically unless the website is either refreshed or re-opened. In my opinion this is desired behavior as the password was already filled in before "Remember Password" was turned off. At that point, any new website being opened will not display the password (including refreshing the website).
