I agreed to have firefox remember my hotmail account, thinking that meant the address (as chrome does). Now it opens my hotmail without a password, which i do not want.

You can delete the saved login here:

"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Security > "Saved Passwords" button

More info on the password manager: Password manager - Remember, delete, change and import saved passwords in Firefox.

If you still need to create a bookmark for the site (similar to an IE Favorite), you can double-click the star icon on the main toolbar.

More info on bookmarks: Bookmarks in Firefox.

Does that work?

Hi lucas27, you wrote in another thread:

firefox opens my hotmail without a password, yet that account is not listed in "saved passwords" so I can't delete it

In that case, the site probably set a "persistent" cookie so that you can stay logged in (sometimes a login page will have a checkbox to stay logged in). A persistent cookie is saved even after you close Firefox and start it up again.

In order to clear that cookie, you can:

  1. Log out of mail when you're done with it, or
  2. Remove the cookie manually, or
  3. Set Firefox not to save persistent cookies between sessions (you can make site-by-site exceptions for sites you want to recognize you without logging in again), or
  4. Set Firefox to clear all cookies at shutdown

Do you have a preference for how you want to handle these cookies?
