If you Log into any website with a login with Firefox, A message will appear that says "Do you want firefox to remember the password for (username) at www.example.com", and if you don't choose an option within a few seconds your username and password are deleted and you have to type them all over again.

I cannot reproduce it. I can see something but that's completely different to what you describe.
After you are logged in, where do you still have a username and password field on the page?
That box never times out for me but only if a page forwards you after successful login to somewhere else with a timeout. Firefox assumes you moved away from the page w/o any decision taken which I think is basically a valid assumption. Next time click faster on the buttons?
So if you see something else or still think that's an issue please describe exactly how to reproduce and what you think is wrong at which stage.
