I don't want firefox to fill i anything. Not my email, not my user name,. not my password. I can't think of any less secure thing to do. I made a huge mistake of having this browser store my passwords a few years ago and never again. I am not even sure I'm going to continue to keep using it. PLEASE I have looked over every tihng in options, setting over and over and over and I just can't find where I set that not do it. it only shows where not to store passwords. 

how do I get it not to fill in anytihng?

at all. 

I don't want this filling in anytbhign at all especially when logging into financial sites. Chrome won't do this, why does this browser persist?

Sorry to hear, this will fix/stop the auto fill. Please follow the instructions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/control-whether-firefox-automatically-fills-forms

This should help you with passwords and how to delete and what to do when asked: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/password-manager-remember-delete-change-and-import

I also suggest deleting cookies that might have stored information or partial information stored for websites and also to clear your cache.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
