Too many name choices to sign in
Why are other names that I never see nor used popping up as a choice with my name to enter as my sign in name? How do I delete the names that I know are not related to my account? Please write me at ... Thanks!

That should help, let us know if it does?
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:
- 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.
- Tap Settings.
- 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.
- You will then be taken to a list of what can be cleared. Select the following 2 for deletion:
- Cookies & active logins
- Cache
- After those have been selected, tap the Clear data button to actually clear the cache and cookies.

OOPS
Sorry my mistake I have given an answer applicable to Firefox dektop. You appear to be using Android Firefox.
HI msemilysouth,
This is normal Firefox behaviour. When you sign in you will often get a choice from previous text used.
When the options show up if one is no longer needed just select it and use the delete button on the keyboad.

I will remove your email adress. It will just attract spam. The forum will by default email you with updates to the thread using whatever email address you registered with.

Sorry about the earlier incorrect answer.
Not too sure about the answer for Android.
Possibly one method that will help, if it is with signing on to sites would be to use some password manager addon, (or a password manager App)
