I am using Firefox for Android.

For most forms, Firefox will save the field input for later use by autocomplete. Some of these entries contain typos and I want to delete the typos. Other fields don't need to be saved. Firefox saves every post that I make to https://m.facebook.com, for example. Firefox shares some fields between websites, so a field named 'username' on foo.com is also suggested on 'bar.com', and I would like to remove this irellevent information.

How can I delete these autocomplete entries using Firefox for Android? I cannot use the keyboard arrow keys to select items for removal, like I can on Firefox for desktop.

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache. The Firefox cache temporarily stores images, scripts, and other parts of websites while you are browsing.
Note: This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to. To clear cache and cookies, do the following:

  1. Tap the menu icon located at the top right corner. This is the icon with 3 bars. On older Android devices you'll have to press the hardware menu key and then tap More.
  2. Tap Settings.
  3. After that, you will be taken to the settings screen. In the settings screen, look under the section Privacy & Security and select Clear private data.
  4. You will then be taken to a list of what can be cleared. Select the following 2 for deletion:
    • Cookies & active logins
    • Cache
  5. After those have been selected, tap the Clear data button to actually clear the cache and cookies.

I tried this, but this does not solve my problem.

I'm looking for a way to delete individual entries from a form using Firefox on Android.
