Navigate to the form where Firefox makes a suggestion that you want to delete, and then select the appropriate field. For example, if you don't want Firefox to suggest a particular search phrase you entered at Google in the past, navigate to Google and click the search field. 2. Open Firefox's list of form suggestions. You can do this step either by typing the beginning of the entry you want to delete or by leaving the field empty and double-clicking or pressing the down-arrow key to open the complete suggestions list. 3. Select the suggestion you want to delete in the list using the down-arrow key. 4. When the appropriate suggestion is selected, press Shift+Delete to remove it from the list. The entry is deleted immediately without confirmation. Turning off automatic form filling If you don't need the convenience of automatic form filling and want to keep form information private from others who use your computer, you can simply turn off the feature entirely: 1. 2. Click the Privacy icon on the top of the window that appears. 3. Click the Saved Forms tab. 4. Select the Save Information I Enter in Forms and the Search Bar check box. Warning Disabling the form-filling feature prevents Firefox from making suggestions when you fill out forms and from remembering any form information you enter after disabling the feature, but it does not clear the form information that's already saved. This means that someone could turn the feature back on and see your previous entries. To prevent this from happening, clear the form information that has already been saved by following the instructions in the earlier section, "Clearing saved form information." Saving Login Information for Fast Access to Web Sites Just as the automatic form-filling feature helps you fill out online forms quickly, the automatic login-filling feature helps you log in to Web sites quickly by keeping track of your usernames and their associated passwords. The first time you log in to a Web site with a username (or e-mail address) and password, Firefox asks you whether it should remember the password, as illustrated in Figure 8-4. You have three options: Yes: This option saves the password in the Password Manager. When you use the same username at the Web site in the future, Firefox automatically prefills the password. See the section "Viewing and clearing saved login info with the Password Manager," later in this chapter, for more information about viewing and removing saved passwords. Never for This Site: Click this button if you never want Firefox to save a password on any page of this Web site. This option is useful if you never want to save passwords for a particular site, perhaps because the site is especially private or sensitive (for example, your banking site). If you choose this option but later decide that you want Firefox to remember this site's login information after all, you can reverse this decision from the Password Manager. See "Viewing and clearing saved login info with the Password Manager," later in this chapter.
