Chosen solution

Hopefully this will solve your problem:

  1. Click the orange Firefox button and then 'Options' > 'Options'. If you don't have the orange Firefox button (top left), then click 'Tools' > 'Options'.
  2. Click the 'Privacy' heading/tab and where it says 'Firefox will:' choose 'Use custom settings for history'.
  3. Make sure 'Remember search and form history' is checked
  4. Click the 'Security' heading/tab and make sure 'Remember passwords for sites' is unchecked.

Tell us if that helps.

You can disable the Password Manager and use form fill to fill only the name.
