There is a hardcoded rule to disable password saving for about:accounts.
It’s not because we don’t want the user to save her password in the PM, but
because that prompt currently solicits the user to set up sync. Soliciting
the user to set up sync while she is setting up sync seems weird. :)

Undoubtably there are other ways to fix the problem, but it was the easiest
one at the time.
