I have a teensy problem with my Pprune email in Mozilla Firefox. When I start to enter my username it does the autocomplete thing, however the name it brings up is one where fat fingers caused a typo one night, and no amount of typing in the correct spelling will change what the autocomplete comes up with. Nor can I find any way of deleting that name.

I don't use the "remember me" function for security reasons, and Firefox help topics don't include anything on autocomplete.

Any suggestions?

:confused:

Here's what I found on the subject:

The first doesn't seem to work all the time, the second page, seems to have good advice, but I haven't tried it.

Good luck.

Thanks, ridley. Problem solved. To save anybody else with the same problem wading through the site, the answer is a simple Shift-Delete. :ok:
