How to delete automatic username fill in

more options

Hello everyone,

How can I delete the automatic username suggestions that appear on websites? Even when I remove the username and password for the website from Firefox's password manager, the usernames still show up. If I simply double-click in the username field, I still get the old suggestions. Deleting cookies hasn’t helped either. Please see screenshot. I anonymized the mail adresses in the pic, but they are completely shown.

Can anyone help me?

Thx in advance Chris

Hi Chris, I have a guess.

Separate from saved logins, Firefox has a feature that remembers form and search history. Three notes:

(1) You can remove individual form history items by pressing the down arrow to highlight an item and then either Delete or Shift+Delete (depending on context and OS?).

(2) You can set Firefox not to store ANY form or search history (selecting that will also suppress the suggestions). Unfortunately, there isn't a way to say "not emails" or "not on this site."

More info: Control whether Firefox automatically fills in forms

(3) This is separate from the address autofill feature, so you can still use address autofill even if form and search history are turned off (if you are in a supported country).
