I allow FF to save some passwords and some I do not want saved. The other day I was logging into a site where I do not want my password saved and FF filled in my user name and password. I didn't think I inadvertently saved it but it could happen. I checked the saved logins and it was there. I removed it. The next time I went to log in to that site FF again filled in my info. I went to the manage logins and it was not there, yet FF is still filling in the info. This is super annoying and inconvenient as I have multiple accounts for this site yet it wants to continue to use this one login. How do I get this issue fixed.

That could be the form filler built into Firefox. Click in the field, enter a character or two and STOP ! Using the arrow keys, highlight an unwanted entry. Then press Shift > Delete

Repeat as needed.

It's not the form filler, it's the password manager doing this.

Suggestions in a login drop down list that have a key icon in front are login suggestions that you need to remove in the Lockwise Password Manager. Suggestions in a drop down list without a key symbol are autocomplete saved form data.

Suggestions without a key icon are part of autocomplete form data that you should be able to remove by selecting this item with the cursor Down key and pressing Delete (Mac: Shift+Delete).

I am not getting suggestions but I'm getting the password and login filled just as I do with sites that I have the password saved. However I do not have it saved for this site, and as I stated in my question, I might have inadvertently saved it, though I'm pretty careful. Yet it was listed in my saved logins, I removed it, it is in fact no longer listed in my saved logins but is still filling in my login credentials just as if it is a saved login.
