There are more preferences - not only with respect to the web browser - whose defaults should differ in a guest session compared to an ordinary session. Changing respective application for that reason would make little sense. In this particular case it can easily be done by modifying the guest session feature.

This is a problem for two reasons: 1. The passwords are only saved for that session (this is good, though a different impression is given by the offer to save passwords) 2. Alice logs in as a guest, saves a password in firefox, and then switches the session to Bob without logging out. Then Bob lets Joseph use the guest session by switching him to it, Joseph has access to the password that Alice saved previously.
