There was a person visiting me who used her Hotmail address from my computer. Now I can not delete this address in the login window. I am told that this would have to be changed in the browser (my case: Firefox v. 60 on Mac), but I can not find the place to do that.

Click in the field, enter a character or two and STOP ! Using the arrow keys, highlight an unwanted entry. Then press Delete (Mac=Shift Delete). Repeat as needed.
