Try emptying the list of saved passwords. You can clear them on shutdown in Options > Privacy > Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings, or remove them in Options > Security > Saved Passwords > Remove All.

Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop down list:

  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.

You can remove all stored data from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry (Show All History or History sidebar) or via the about:permissions page.

Using "Forget About This Site" will remove everything like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions from that domain, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks. You can't recover from that "forget" unless you have a backup of the affected files.

It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

Thanks cor-el...i'll try this again...Thought I've tried that in the past and didn't think the delete key worked?

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

Am confused though about the below: Seems contradictary?

You can inspect and manage permissions for all domains on the about:permissions page via the location bar.

That page has a button to remove all data if you select a specific domain the pane at the left.
If you open the History via the sidebar or library (History > Show All history) then you will also have the as a menu entry in the right-click context menu.

Ok my husband got involved this time...he's the expert and tried the above. He even used CCLEANER to try and fix it! STILL DIDN'T WORK!! Next thing he said was to deinstall and reinstall? BUT if I do that will my favorites bookmarks still be available or not???? I don't want to do that until I know for sure my bookmarks will still be there?! Thanks

Note that some websites pre-fill a name and password field with some place holder data, so do not get confused by such behavior.

Is this still happening if both form-fill and the Password Manager are disabled as a (quick) test?

  • Tools > Options > Privacy > History: [] "Remember search and form history"
  • Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: [] "Remember passwords for sites"

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

See "Creating a profile":

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

You can also try to reset Firefox:
