On a websites login form my coworkers email address is now permanently stored there. How do I remove it? It doesn't appear in saved passwords to remove either.

The email address part of the login is permanently in the box that you would usually type an email address into, or even type one letter and select from a drop down.

Interestingly the password is not, but I can't delete it using backspace, delete, trying to type over it, highlighting it to try and cut it out, or right click delete, or paste text over it - it's just permanently there.

I've looked in the saved form info to remove any login information stored on this website, but this particular email address wasn't there either.

This is the first time I've come across this and I have no idea how its happened or how to change it!

Please help!

Please update to Firefox 29 (22, which you are using, is very old and out of date) Update Firefox to the latest release

Then read Control whether Firefox automatically fills in forms

You can remove just one saved User ID, Email Address, or Password on Firefox the same way you do it on IE. Click on the form that you have your saved User ID, Email or Password for. Press the down arrow key to bring up the username for the form that corresponds to the password or ID or Email address you want to delete.

Highlight the username by pressing on the down arrow key again or just highlight what you want deleted and then press the "DEL" or "DELETE" button on your computer.

This should remove the one you want to delete. I did this with a User ID on Firefox that I had accidentally spelled wrong. It works.
