A user did something while login in to a Yahoo e-mail account and now every time I go to login to my Yahoo account, his user name always appears as pre-filled. I went into settings and cleared everything (browsing history, cookies, etc) but if I leave the settings as "Remember History" (which is something I'd like) it still shows that pre-filled user name (ans password) to this user's email account. I even uninstalled Firefox, deleted the folder under "Programs Files (x86)" and reinstalled it ...still there !! It's not a Yahoo issue because I tried Chrome and IE and it doesn't do it. The only way I can get rid of it is if I set the browser to "Never remember any history" but that's not what I want. I want to be able to remember history, but just not have that User Name and Password appear whenever I try to logon to my email account. Hence, I do I clean EVERYTHING from Modzilla Firefox history ?

hi, please see if you can delete those user credentials in the firefox password manager: Password Manager - Remember, delete and edit logins and passwords in Firefox

A detail like a website remembering you (log you in automatically) is stored in a cookie. Removing cookies from a website makes the website forget about you. "Remove Cookies" from websites that cause problems:

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.

Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious. If you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.

You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.

If you revisit a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.
