Firefox is nice, so nice that it saves all entries you made to a form field. But it only does this when you check the ‘Remember what I enter in forms and search bar’ check box in Tools>Options>Privacy tab.

Once you check this box, Firefox remembers all entries you made to a form field and the next time you type, it mentions all older entries as recommendation. But this nice gesture becomes very frustrating when Firefox also remembers all the wrong entries you made(due to typos or otherwise). Apparently there is no option anywhere to correct this – so Firefox dutifully mentions the wrong entry even if the right one is just next to it!

Fortunately, correcting this was so easy that Firefox people didn’t mention it as an option. All you need to do is:

• Click on the form field, a drop down menu with auto-complete entries appears. Navigate to the wrong entry – it becomes highlighted.

• Press Delete key(alternatively press Shift + Delete keys) and the wrong entry is deleted!

Simple, isn’t it?

Note: It works only with the delete key and not the backspace key.
