I see nothing in tools that would allow me to turn autofill (autocomplete) off. Any ideas on how to do it?

Hi! To disable form autocomplete, please follow the instructions in the section "Prevent Firefox from storing form entries" in the article Control whether Firefox automatically fills in forms . To disable URL autocomplete, please follow the instructions in the section "How can I control what results the location bar shows me? - Changing your location bar settings" in the article Address bar autocomplete suggestions in Firefox . In this case, clearing your history also works, because the Awesome bar uses your history for suggestions. Hope that helps!
