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?
