Do you think this autocomplete drop-down is a feature of your email site -- searching in your address book -- or Firefox, showing addresses you entered into the form before? Is your mail site Yahoo?


The forum software detected your Firefox as version 13. Is that correct?

Version 13 is not secure; Mozilla discloses security flaws after each new release. Is something holding you back from upgrading to Firefox 22? Please let us know so we can suggest solutions or workarounds.

If Help > About Firefox shows Firefox 22.0, you may need to clear the preference that is misreporting your version number. See: How to reset the default user agent on Firefox.
