I like having the drop-down menu from the url, but the autocomplete option for textboxs within like when I type my username and it pops up with all of the ones that has been used on that site are really annoying. How do I get rid for the latter? I didn't have this before I upgraded to Firefox, and now I can't get rid of it. Fyi, I'm rather tech inept, don't use complicated comp sci words please!

  1. Click the Firefox button in the top left corner of the window and choose Options. If there's no Firefox button and the menu bar is displayed instead, open the Tools menu and choose Options.
  2. In the Options window, click the Privacy icon at the top.
  3. Next to “Firefox will:” choose Use custom settings for history.
  4. Clear the checkbox next to Remember search and form history.
  5. Click the OK button.

You can use History > 'Clear Recent History" to clear already saved form data.

Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop down list:

  1. Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
  2. Highlight an entry in the drop down list
  3. Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.
