Thanks for that, now I need to find out where firefox stores these login details, I never entered this password into any firefox page, if it can find this password then who knows what else it can be recording.......scary.
Firefox only stores a name and password after you have confirmed this.
If you didn't do that then that data is most likely saved as form data.
- Tools > Options > Privacy > History: "Remember search and form history"

You can remove already saved form data via Clear Recent History.
