    Is there a way to delete the Firefox cookie (saved password and personal info) for a certain website?

    I'm not quite sure i understand here. You're not speaking in proper English. You want to save cookies for just one site?

    You can delete single cookies that way.

    Actually, that didn't work...
    On this website for my music class,
    http://imlc.rutgers.edu/music103/

    It asks me for a password when I registered and after I put in the password, I accidentally clicked on save password. And then later, when I open the page again, the password FF saved is not my account password but the password that allowed me to register and create an account....

    I tried doing what you said by deleting the imlc.rutgers.edu cookie, but the password is still saved...

    Saved Passwords aren't saved in the cookies. I'm not sure you can delete a single saved password without deleting all saved passwords.

    For that: "Tools>Options>Security>Show passwords" Just make sure to click on a single password and click remove.

    After the saved password is deleted, it doesn't ask me whether I want to save my new password/username or not... how can I have it remember my new password?

    When you enter it, there should be a box asking you if you want to save your password. If you turned this off, then just go to "Tools>Options>Security>Exceptions" and remove it.

    There's no box asking me if I want to save the new password, and the website address is not under Exceptions...

    If you log out of the site and then you log back in, that box should come up.
