When I go into email, my name and password are already in place. How do I disable this feature? Is it Autofill?

See:

  • 3-bar Firefox menu button > Options > Security: Passwords: "Remember passwords for sites"

You can 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 with the mouse or cursor Down key
    do not click the mouse or press the Enter key
  3. press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to delete the highlighted entry
