Autofill instructions say to click Firefox button>Options, but this choice doesn't exist; where is it?
UPDATE: Followed instructions provided by cor-el; they worked. Thanks! Interestingly, after doing that one time, the "Options" choice became visible and remained so.
Running Win7. Firefox instructions say: "Prevent Firefox from storing form entries If you don't want Firefox to remember what you've entered into form fields, you can turn off the auto form fill feature: 1. At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button and then click Options. [*THERE IS NO "OPTIONS" CHOICE, so this is impossible and the process can't be completed as described.*] 2. Select the Privacy panel. 3. Set Firefox will: to Use custom settings for history. 4. Remove the check mark from the box that says Remember search and form history. 5. Click OK to close the Options window. .
THE PROBLEM: in the above sequence, there is no "Options" choice, so the process can't be completed as described. How do I complete the process?

- Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.
- Use "Firefox > Options" instead of "Tools > Options" if the menu bar is hidden.
- Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history" > "Remember search and form history"
