I have hallmark email address saved in tools/options/saved passwords. When I used google to search "hallmark cards" using Mozilla Firefox 12.0 the result showed my email address in a box ready to be clicked ... I dont want to see my email address being found by googleand be displayed by firefox on a search page. I want it displayed when I go to login to at Hallmark Cards if I decide to link to the page, but not when I just google the name Hallmark Cards!!

I know it was taken from tools/options/save passwords because when I deleted that line in saved passwords and googled again the box did not have my email address.

How do I save my email addresses so I can log in but not allow it to be displayed on a google search page

This usually only can happen if such data is stored as saved form data because that data is not specific for a web page, but only for a specific form name or id, so it is quite possible to get the same suggestions on other web pages if the names of the input fields are the same.
