To delete the user name and password for the website is stored in what we call a cookie. It stores information and user/password info so you can use it later when you visit that site. To delete the cookie for that particular site go to Firefox then go to Tools-->Options-->Privacy and click on Firefox will and check the box that says Use custom settings for history. Then go to Exceptions and delete the cookie for the website you don't want to have your username saved on.
Or....
You can stop Firefox from saving your user info from website by going to Tools-->Options-->Security-->Exceptions and add a website you don't want Firefox to remember your info on.
1. Click on the text field. 2. Use the down arrow key on your keyboard to navigate to the item you want to delete. 3. Once you have the item selected, press the Delete key.
