Mulongo oyo etiyamaki na archive. Tuna motuna mosusu soki osengeli na lisalisi

When I comment on a friend's post on m.firefox.com, Firefox stores my comments, all of them, forever. How can I delete these?

I am using Firefox Mobile 28.0.1 on Android 2.3.4.

I browse Facebook on their mobile website at https://m.facebook.com/ . When I comment on someone else's post, Firefox saves the text for my comment. Now when I try to comment on a friend's post, Firefox drops down a list which shows every comment that I have made (The list is close to 100 entries long). This list is annoying and serves no useful purpose as I will never use one of those comments again.

How can I prevent Firefox Mobile from saving my Facebook comment history? How can I purge this list?

Do you need anything else since you've got me?

That's actually because of the autofill feature in Firefox Mobile..

To disable form fill in Firefox for Android:

  1. Type "about:config" in the Firefox location bar, and press Enter or Go
  2. Search for "formfill"
  3. Tap on the "browser.formfill.enable" preference, then press the toggle switch to change it from "true" to "false"

Thanks! I also see `browser.formfill.expire_days` which could be useful.
