Want 2 remove auto listing Yahoo mail addresses on opening 1 of many addresses, have tried & failed with Deleting individual form entries & Clearing form histor

I have a number of Yahoo email addresses. Over time, I've made mistakes in entering an address followed by a password and then enter. These incorrect addresses are stored in the auto listing of the Yahoo mail addresses. I've tried following Mozilla instruction for 'Deleting individual form entries' and 'Clearing form history' but cannot clear the individual wrong auto-address or all of the auto addresses. I don't want to clear any other form filling in use.

Thank you very much. It was a steep learning curve but well worth the time and effort. However, I need more time and usage of Mozilla to fully appreciate the effect. It would be useful to suggest making a written note of the instructions . . .
