I want to clean up the auto names that pop up when I type a name in search
Lets say I want to write to Larry.Smith at xyz corp. If I star to type in Lar I get every Larry I've known for 10 years. I want to be able to weed out and eliminate those names that are no longer relevant to me. How can I do this so that only the most recent names pop up? Can you tell me how to do this?

You can use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop-down list:
- click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop-down list
- highlight an entry in the drop-down list
- press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

It didn't work. I read the 'see also' suggestions. It said the same thing but shift delete over the popped up name did nothing.
This is a problem with an input field on a website?
If it is somewhere else like in the Firefox user interface like the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar then please clarify.
Note that some web pages may show suggestions in the drop-down list and that you aren't seeing names that you actually typed yourself.
This is within the Thunderbird app, not on the Firefox browser. When I do a search on my mailboxes, I get everyone on my computer. I want to be able to clean that out and delete some of the names, without deleting everyone. How can I do that.
Thank you for that added dimension.
Where is "collected addresses" does that exist for me to click on?
