Whenever I am asked to log into a secure sight, Firefox shows the last entries entered; ie, when I log into Yahoo, all I have to do is enter the first letter and it shows the last 6-8 logins. I feel that this is a security issue. I don't want others to see my login's. Explorer does not do this. How do I turn this off?

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== always??!
