Despite clearing history(everything,all checked tickboxes),it still remembers autofill username & password.This is a major security issue.I tried in Chrome and it behaves well as expected but in mozilla,its a concern that it remembers past data despite clearing history.I tried re-installing Mozilla firefox and still the same issue.

Thanks, Avanish F

hello, you can manage your saved passwords in the password manager - they are not part of your history in firefox: Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
