I was just trying to post a comment about a wonderful police officer who saved a deer on a freeway somewhere. Well of course you have to sign in, and the only email firefox would bring up was my outlook.com email and it had my PASSWORD ON THE EMAIL ADDRESS. Which I guess Ill have to go change again. What gives, why do you have so much security crap you can barely accesss anything and then you go and broadcast my email password as part of my email. Should I tell firefox not to remember anything I guess?

I'm not sure what happened there, but some users have reported strange behavior of Firefox's form auto-fill feature in Firefox 23. A bug that involves repeatedly listing the same saved data will be fixed in Firefox 24, but perhaps you've discovered a different problem.

To clean up the saved form autofill entries, you can try this extension: Form History Control.

To delete saved logins, you can use:

orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Security > "Saved Passwords"

Any luck?

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.
