When I input a user name for yahoo or gmail, Firefox offers alternatives that I have previously input. So I get a list of typos and sometimes my password concatenated to the user name.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== I started using Firefox.

Use the arrow keys to select the item you want to delete, the press Shift-Delete to remove a single item from the list.
