Everytime I fill out an application, the info pops up for me to select and input. How can I delete ALL INFO that Firefox has 'remembered'. I filled in an app and put in my SS#. I filled out a diffferent app and my SS# popped up automatically. Please advise. This is true for websites that other people in my house my go to. If they fill in the same app, my SS# will pop up, even though it is different from theirs.

Clear Form and Search History.
Tools > Clear Recent History and then clear what you want to clear


Then go into Tools > Options > Security - Select "Use Custom settings for History" and un-check Remember search and form history"

Thanks for your answer. However, when I go to Tools - Options - Security, there is no option "Use Custom settings for History". I am using version 3.6.17/Firefox. Please advise.

That is in Firefox (Tools) > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
