When I click on my mail tab, Firefox auto-loads my username and password. How do I stop this from happening? I'm not the only person using this computer and I feel like my privacy can be violated by anyone who clicks on the mail tab.

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are automatically logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
