After I open Firefox and sign-in to email using password manager. When I run Glary Utilities it shows that Firefox has saved a password. Where does Firefox save this password? How can I keep Firefox from saving passwords? How do I clear entered data on a web page? thank you

Chosen solution

You can use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop-down list:

  1. click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop-down list
  2. highlight an entry in the drop-down list with the mouse or cursor Down key
    do not click the mouse or press the Enter key
  3. press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to delete the highlighted entry

you can enable and disable this feature in Options/Preferences.

  • Options/Preferences -> Security: Logins: "Remember logins for sites"

Firefox stores saved login data in the Password Manager.

Firefox stores this data in the logins.json file (key3.db stores the encryption key).
