Firefox stores my email screen names, how can I store them?
Firefox stores my email screen names, how can I store them? I had to change the password to one and was suggested to delete it... all I wanted was to change the 'remember password', not delete the screen name

You can store a new login name and other form data by entering it in the form on the web page.
- https://support.mozilla.com/kb/make-firefox-remember-usernames-and-passwords
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_Manager
If you need to remove old data then use these steps:
- Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
- Highlight an entry in the drop down list
- Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.
Right, I understand the first part which is how I save my Passwords. However, when I changed password to one of my accounts, it did not ask me for an "Update" which is what I am trying to figure out how to "Update"
Make sure that there aren't any entries with a blank name stored in the Password Manager.
- Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.
- Saved Password Editor: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/saved-password-editor/
The one that I needed is listed on the list... however, when I do the log-in, it does not appear on the "drop-down" list of screen names
Are all the others showing in the drop-down list?
You can try to remove that entry and let Firefox create a new entry.
How can I remove that entry so that Firefox can create a new one?
You can press the Delete key on a highlighted entry in the drop-down list to remove that entry or do the same in the Password Manager.
- Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
If you need to remove saved data then use these steps:
- Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
- Highlight an entry in the drop down list
- Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.
