Firefox stores my email screen names, how can I store them?

Firefox stores my email screen names, how can I store them? I had to change the password to one and was suggested to delete it... all I wanted was to change the 'remember password', not delete the screen name

You can store a new login name and other form data by entering it in the form on the web page.


If you need to remove old data then use these steps:

  1. Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
  2. Highlight an entry in the drop down list
    • Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

Right, I understand the first part which is how I save my Passwords. However, when I changed password to one of my accounts, it did not ask me for an "Update" which is what I am trying to figure out how to "Update"

Make sure that there aren't any entries with a blank name stored in the Password Manager.

  • Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"

The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

The one that I needed is listed on the list... however, when I do the log-in, it does not appear on the "drop-down" list of screen names

Are all the others showing in the drop-down list?

You can try to remove that entry and let Firefox create a new entry.

How can I remove that entry so that Firefox can create a new one?

You can press the Delete key on a highlighted entry in the drop-down list to remove that entry or do the same in the Password Manager.

  • Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"

If you need to remove saved data then use these steps:

  1. Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
  2. Highlight an entry in the drop down list
  3. Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.
