I have cleared saved login information and have no add-ons that might retain login information, and yet Firefox contines to autofil my logins. Why?

Since updating Firefox a few days ago (January 2018) it saves my login information on every site. Going to Preferences and then the login/password manager, it confirms that I have NO saved logins. And yet they continue to be saved.

Hi, under Prevent Firefox from storing form entries in Control whether Firefox automatically fills in forms, make sure that Remember search and form history isn't selected.

To remove individual entries, select them then press the Delete key.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you!
