On certain websites that have a username and password space to fill in, I get a little drop down box that suggests my email and a couple other words i input as a username on other websites, for example I must have input my password by accident in the username space, so now it suggests my password as a username. This happens on some websites I've never even visited before and never typed anything in or tried to log into.

I opened the 'Logins and passwords' menu, and there is information saved for only 2 websites, yet when I visit other websites, I'm automatically suggested possible usernames that don't seem to be saved anywhere. I've cleared cookies and cache and its still there. How can I remove these?

What it sounds like you are seeing is a part of your Form & Search History, not an actual username saved in the logins section. If you want to delete a specific entry, you can use the arrow keys to select the desired item and press the Delete key on your keyboard to delete it from the history.

Alternatively, you can remove all of the saved form history by clearing the Form & Search History the standard way that you would clear your regular history or cache and cookies.

See Control whether Firefox automatically fills in forms for more information.

Hope this helps.
