How do I remove pulldown for email addresses I have entered in yahoo.mail. Apparently this information is stored somewhere. I assume this is a firefox issue.
There are userid's stored somewhere that I have used in the past. Only when I bring up Firefox does the following description occur. It does not with IE.
When I click on the userid field for yahoo email, userid names used from the past appear for me to select from. They apparently were saved without my knowledge. It also happened (pull down list) when I submitted this form. How do I remove all userid's from Firefox, so no userid information is stored? I have gone under options/security and unclicked on "Remember logins". That didn't fix my problem. I am also not remembering history.
Second question: I have removed Firefox to download a clean copy. I removed it via Windows 7 per procedures. After I download and reinstall, all my book marks are still there. It use to be that once you deleted Firefox, ALL files were moved including bookmarks. Is this common from now on. If so, that sure isn't a clean de-install.

This data is probably saved a saved form data.
- Options/Preferences -> Privacy -> Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
You can use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop-down list:
- click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop-down list
- highlight an entry in the drop-down list with the mouse or cursor Down key
do not click the mouse or press the Enter key - press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to delete the highlighted entry

The answer given is not an exact path to the answer. IE: It's Options/Privacy, not Options/Preferences/Privacy. I was able to resolve the issue following most of the information presented. I never put the privacy option to "user control" before, and the two "Remember data" check off boxes were off. The info supplied was pretty close to the actual resolution. Thanks

On some platforms (Mac, Linux) Options is named Preferences. That is why I write Options/Preferences. You need the Privacy tab for the history settings (-> Privacy is go to Privacy).
