38 One thing I read makes it sound like it is for a built in password
39 remembering tool. I know Firefox and Seamonkey has the same but I
40 disable those since I use BitWarden anyway.  One would think there would
41 be a setting in preferences to just disable all that.  I suspect few use
42 them given the popularity of LastPass, BitWarden and other tools that
43 are much more secure and portable.  Maybe looking for a password tool
44 setting would help.  I tried Chrome ages ago, didn't like it at all. 
45 That was several years ago so I'm clueless on it now.  Just thought
46 those suggestions might help.
