When logging into a website, I click in the username or email address area or type the first letter it will automatically pop up an email address or username. I don't want other people using my computer to see my username or email address.

If you don't want Firefox to remember what you've entered into form fields, you can turn off the auto form fill feature:

  1. Click the menu button New Fx Menu and choose Options.
  2. Select the Privacy panel.
  3. In the drop-down menu next to Firefox will:, choose Use custom settings for history.
  4. Remove the check mark next to Remember search and form history.
  5. Click OK to close the Options window.

Disabling form history also prevents Firefox from storing search history for the Search bar in the Navigation Toolbar.

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
