We address the problem of magnetic field dissipation in the neutron star cores, focusing on the role of neutron superfluidity. Contrary to the results in the literature, we show that in the finite-temperature superfluid matter composed of neutrons, protons, and electrons, magnetic field dissipates exclusively due to Ohmic losses and non-equilibrium beta-processes, and only an admixture of muons restores (to some extent) the role of particle relative motion for the field dissipation. The reason for this discrepancy is discussed.
