I have several gmail ids that I deleted with gmail. How do I stop Firefox from showing them when I go to log into surviving gmail ids?
I have 5 or 6 Gmail account IDs. Several have been deleted via Gmail so no longer exist. However, every time I want to log into one of my remaining Gmail IDs, Firefox shows a list of every Gmail ID I've had in the past. How do I delete the ones I no longer use??
Related question: How do I export my bookmarks so that I can completely eliminate Firefox and start fresh with a new Firefox that hopefully doesn't remember all my Gmail IDs???

On the logins, you can try clearing the obsolete ones here:
orange Firefox button > Options > Security > "Saved Passwords"
or
Tools menu > Options > Security > "Saved Passwords"

On bookmarks, there are several methods to import. You can export to an HTML file and store that outside of the Mozilla folders (e.g., in your Documents folder) or you can copy the bookmark backups folder.
Before making changes, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See Backing up your information. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Then, see:
Exporting bookmarks to an HTML file | How to | Firefox Help

Finally, rather than uninstall/reinstall, you could create a new Firefox profile. It will look as though you just installed Firefox, and then you can copy important settings to the new profile at your leisure.
To create a new (blank) profile: Managing profiles
To move key settings to the new profile: Recovering important data from an old profile.
Hope this helps.
Am on Mac, Orange button is use to hide the window... Further, those ID doesn't show at all into Saved PW...
@cldjr, the menus are different between Windows and Mac. Would you mind posting a new question and using the feature to attach your system information to your post? If you mention in your question that you use MacOS, hopefully you can get better help.
