I accidentally typed my password on the email address line and now it automatically shows up if I press the first character of my password on that line when I sign in. I don't want my password to be seen on that line. Can I uninstall and reinstall Firefox to fix that problem?

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

hello, reinstalling won't help in your situation - when the autofill suggestion appears simply select it with the arrow keys and remove it with the DEL-key then it will be erased from the firefox autofill-memory.

Control whether Firefox automatically fills in forms
