Have you tried starting Firefox in Mozilla Safe Mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
If no improvement using Safe Mode, do you have the same problem if you create a new profile and test it with no extensions or non-default themes installed?

Hi
Thanks DanRaisch for your reply but what I Actually need is

I have a login page, in this autocomplete should be OFF, So I added attribute as autocomplete="off" in the form tag. It is not working in Firefox 34.0 but it is working fine in Firefox 25.0.

Thanks

It looks like the autocomplete="off" preference is being ignored, either in part or totally due to resolution of bug 956906. (Firefox 25 was released 2013-06-25, the enhancement/bug report resolved on 2014-03-10.)

From a standards viewpoint, HTML5 allows user agents to provide some mechanisms to override autocomplete although perhaps not intending to make it active by default as seems to be the case in Firefox's expanded security settings.

I found an entry in Firefox 35.01's about:config page for

signon.storeWhenAutocompleteOff;true

I haven't experimented with it, but taken literally it would mean that by default the password manager will offer to store the password no matter what you do.
