Financial password showed up in an unrelated sites Search box
I was searching the Uniden phone site for a user manual for a phone. The first 2 letters of the phone's model number are, coincidentally, the same as a password that I use for a bank account. After I typed the two letters, my password was filled in in the Search box. How do I stop this behavior?
XP SP3, FF14.0.1

Sounds that the password got saved as form data, maybe because you've once typed it by accident in an input field.
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
- Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

The Shockwave and Java applications may need 'PLUGIN UPDATE' for newer versions. Suggest a check for any outdated PLUGIN UPDATE found from the Mozilla Firefox Toolbar 'Help' Menu > 'Firefox Help' > [lower right margin displays link to more info to review and 'UPDATE PLUGIN's!

Done, no more occurrences of the issue. Why it happened still baffles; I hadn't used the financial site in a long time.
