Is there a way to get firefox to turn off the password manager by default for all accounts on a computer?

I am setting up an drive to be imaged for multiple computers. I would like to turn off Password manager so that all new accounts would also have it off by default. I am fine using it, but often times others do not even set a secure master password. It would be best for us to just to turn that feature off.

hello, yes you can do that - for the principle method of locking certain preferences please refer to this article: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences

in your case you'd have to put this line in your lockfile: 

lockPref("signon.rememberSignons", false);
