I have not changed my password for Facebook nor have I done anything else with it, but just this morning, I tried to log-in and it said I had the wrong password I log in every day, so its not the password (its still the same anyway) but still every time I go to the homepage to log in, its got the wrong one now and Firefox does not ask to remember the new password to correct it (I suspect its the same one anyway?)

Also, I have a similar problem with Tumblr, I log-in and it says its wrong, from that page I have to log in again to get in But sometimes its right the first time

Note that I don't actually type in any emails/usernames/passwords, they are already there for me to click 'sign in'

So far its only done it for them and I do log-into a lot of things

Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop down list:

  1. Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
  2. Highlight an entry in the drop down list
  3. Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

You can remove a wrongly stored password here:

  • Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
