Firefox stores my email screen names, how can I store them? I had to change the password to one and was suggested to delete it... all I wanted was to change the 'remember password', not delete the screen name

You can store a new login name and other form data by entering it in the form on the web page.


If you need to remove old data then use these steps:

  2. Highlight an entry in the drop down list
    • Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.
