For some reason, every time I go to fill in my email address, only one option is shown via auto-fill. And it's not even the address that I use when signed in here! I can't find anyplace to add it, or another, to my auto-fill options, I don't even see the one address it keeps wanting me to use, anywhere. None of the help articles say how to do this either.

It is possible that this email address is filled via standard form fill.

You can use these steps to remove saved items from an autocomplete drop-down list.

  1. click the (empty) input field on the webpage to open the drop-down list
  2. highlight an entry in the drop-down list with cursor Down key
    do not click the mouse or press the Enter key
  3. press "Delete" or "Shift+Delete" to delete the highlighted entry

It's not so much a problem that one email address keeps popping up, but that it's the ONLY one, and my two most used addresses aren't being filled in. I opened Preferences, and made sure I had them listed in various windows, but so far, most of the time nothing gets auto-filled! I've never seen a browser where the auto-fill feature works so rarely. It seems to me something is really wrong with this version, sites don't load, or take forever, RAM use off the board, etc...
