Solve : How To Stop Autofill Texting?

Answer»

I use firefox, I notice whenever I type something in (like the subject for this current thread) a list of previous things I have typed pops up for me to auto FILL if I choose.
Eh...I kinda like having my past history not be brought up each time, anyway I can stop this from happening?I would LEARN to live with it.  Autosuggest isn't only PROVIDED by the browser - in many cases on websites it's provided by a javascript call, Ajax or what-have-you.

Generally speaking, you can delete individual ITEMS from the autosuggest field - highlight with the cursor keys and hit delete.  But that would not work with the javascript scenario.I believe this will do it: Tools - Options - Privacy - Uncheck "REMEMBER Search & Form History"After seing this I just had a quick Google and you may be interested to know that there is a Firefox add-on that allows you to view, clear, or selectively edit your form history called Form History Control. The current version is 1.2.9.3

It showed me 541 items dating back to January 2010, some of which I deleted at once!!! This seems like a sensible privacy/security step to take especially if you ever type passwords or user names or other personal information into forms on websites. Thanks for making me aware of this issue.
