Autofill has wrong spelling. How to delete.

When typing in my email address, Firefox automatically completes the name. My name was mispelled once and now it appears every day. How do I delete this?

Thank you.

Hello,

  • Go to a form with your email appearing.
  • Use the ↓ (down arrow) key to highlight the incorrect entry.
  • Press Shift + Delete (on Windows/Linux) or Shift + Fn + Delete (on macOS) to remove it.

I only try on Linux and it worked. Should work on Windows. Search for : Delete Selected Autocomplete Entry in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-tasks-quickly

Is this working for you? If not you can delete all form entries if you are sure you don't need them. about:preferences#privacy Clear History...

I have tried deletig so many things and continue to get an autofill suggestion I don't want. I use Firefox on a Mac. The bad autofill occurs everywhere, not just one website, in any type of form. I've already deleted all the history (didn't help) and other actions. What can I do?
