I understand how to work with my list of passwords in Firefox. And I understand that a user name seems to be associated with the specific website that it was used on. Recently I brought up intuit.com and expected there to be only 1 username, but I saw a user name (Yahoo email address) that belongs to a guy that does some work for me. I remember him using my laptop to login to yahoo once to get something from his email. But he didn't use intuit.com. Not sure he even knows what intuit would be.

So I went to the password list in firefox and typed in intuit, his user name didn't appear. I tried typing in his email address but it didn't find it. I'm not worried about any security issues. But I want the name removed from the list of users that pops up.

I deleted the cookies for intuit but the user names still pop up.

Any suggestions on how to get rid of this user name?

You covered two of the three places I would look. The third is "form history." Form history entries appear in a drop-down when you click in or start typing in a form field, but they do not have the more elaborate display of a saved login -- they look quite plain. To delete an unwanted form history entry, press the down arrow key to select it, then press Delete or Shift+Delete.

More info on form history: Control whether Firefox automatically fills in forms.

Success?
