When I attempt to fill in a form, as I type,a Firefox will offer suggestions as to what to fill in. For example, the web form asks for a date. I want to enter 5/25/2011. As I have filled out this form before, Firefox offers suggestions of 5/25/2009, 5/25/2010, and 5/25/2011. I no longer will be entering 5/25/2009 or 5/25/2010, so I will not need those suggestions any more. How do I get rid of them? As it's annoying to have them constantly showing up. ( The same thing occurs if you make a mistake, for example, in typing an e-mail address. The mistake keeps showing up as a suggestion. )
