Hello Bkrieb,
Would you try this please : Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop-down list Then highlight an entry in the drop-down list using the cursor Down key (arrow key) (Don't click the mouse and don't press Enter) Press the Delete key to delete the highlighted entry. Repeat till only the correct username is left. (Don't click the mouse and don't press Enter)
(Hovering with the mouse no longer works)

Your System Details shows you have
Norton Password Manager
Are you using this or . . .
Type about:preferences#security<enter> in the address bar. Look under Logins,
Note: For Firefox 56+ its; about:preferences#privacy Look under Forms & Passwords +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Turn on Remember Logins. To check the passwords you have listed, press Saved Logins.
ok. did as you described but did not see that particular log on. Could it be held in windows???
and thank you for helping!! I just need to find the right place and I will be elated! lol
Hi, to prevent all logins from being remembered by Firefox, open the 3-bar menu > Options > Privacy & Security (History), and deselect 'Remember search and form history.'
If you want to still remember logins, but wish to remove individual entries, start typing the login until it comes up, then select the entry you want to remove, and whilst holding the left mouse button down, press the Del key on your PC. Also see Control whether Firefox automatically fills in forms

WoW!!! Yes! Fantastic! I have been trying to figure this out for weeks. lol The resolve was type first letter, then hit delete... sometimes twice... while holding the left mouse button. Cannot say thank you enough! Just wish I had found you before I erased all my cookies lol
