If it has been saved as form data and not as a name/password in the Password Manager then this data has been stored in the formhistory.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

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.
