Hello,

I have autofills and login savings disabled, but browser still seems to be saving form data including usernames. How do I disable browser saving any form inputs altogether?

If you disable the login manager then Firefox can use use saved form data to store the username.

That could be the form filler built into Firefox. Click in the field, enter a character or two and STOP ! Using the arrow keys, highlight an unwanted entry. Then press Shift + Delete

Repeat as needed.


You could also try out Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history

Firefox Private Browsing is great for viewing websites without saving things like cookies, temp files, and a history of the pages you visit.

Thank you for your answer, Fred.

Your suggestion with Shift + DEL indeed deletes them from the list, but is there a way to stop Firefox saving any data at all, so I don't need to keep deleting same stuff all over again? I use forms like that on my day job, so Incognito mode isn't really an answer for me. Names and numbers stack up very quickly, so I find Firefox suggesting any inputs at all only very annoying.

Or you can try out Private Browsing posted above.
