When I am done with Facebook, I log out as usual. Some recent change has occurred, and I no longer am asked for my password when logging back in, just clicking on my recent login (see attached) takes me right to Facebook, which I do not want! I did not choose to save my login and password, in fact I can't even find Facebook in the list of my saved logins. Does anyone have any idea why this important security issue has suddenly developed?

That could be the form filler built into Firefox. Click in the field, enter a character or two and STOP ! Using the arrow keys, highlight an unwanted entry. Then press Shift > Delete Repeat as needed.

Facebook can possibly store this data in a cookie.

Are you possibly using a container extension like Facebook Container or Firefox Multi-Account Containers ?

You can clear the Facebook cookies to ensure that Facebook forgets you.
