Hmm, you can delete the entry by pressing the down arrow and then the Delete key. However, it may be re-added by the Form History feature.

You can disable Firefox from saving and displaying Form History, but I don't know of a method to do that only for one site or one page, I am only aware of the global setting.

  • Windows: "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options

  • Linux: "3-bar" menu button (or Edit menu) > Preferences
  • Any system: type or paste about:preferences into the address bar and press Enter/Return to load it

In the left column, click "Privacy & Security"

On the right side, scroll down to the History selection and select:
