Hello,

I have autofills and login savings disabled, but browser still seems to be saving form data including usernames. How do I disable browser saving any form inputs altogether?

That could be the form filler built into Firefox. Click in the field, enter a character or two and STOP ! Using the arrow keys, highlight an unwanted entry. Then press Shift + Delete

Repeat as needed.

Thank you for your answer, Fred.

Your suggestion with Shift + DEL indeed deletes them from the list, but is there a way to stop Firefox saving any data at all, so I don't need to keep deleting same stuff all over again? I use forms like that on my day job, so Incognito mode isn't really an answer for me. Names and numbers stack up very quickly, so I find Firefox suggesting any inputs at all only very annoying.
