How do I clear auto fill data in mozilla firefox?

Asked By bngari 0 points N/A Posted on - 08/20/2011

For browsing the internet I am using Mozilla Firefox. I am a very old user and I don’t have such a big issue with it. Actually I think it may create a security problem for me. My problem is that, whenever I open a website for form filling, I always find my some sensitive information is already filled in forms. I don’t want to use this auto-fill option. Please tell me how to remove my information that comes up with every time I start typing in a textbox?

Hello Ngari,

Those forms come up in Firefox because you have enabled the option for remembering form history when you are using the Firefox browser. You will therefore need to change that option. But first of all, I will recommend that you clear your browser cache by going to: Tools > Clear Recent Browsing History.

After that you will need to do the following:

• With Firefox open, you will need to go to Tools, and then click Options.
• After that click on "Privacy" in the window that will open,
• And then look for the drop down menu that says "Remember History" and change it to "Never remember history".

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Carl
