I use Firefox on my work computer, and I do not want the program to remember user names, and auto-fill when logging onto secure websites. There are currently no Saved Logins listed in the security tab of settings, but every time I log onto my benefits or payroll websites, my user name pops up as suggested log in data. How do I disable this function?

Hi jk4js, please see the following link: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/control-whether-firefox-automatically-fills-forms

You will need to disable the form auto form fill feature.

I would really prefer to disable form history, without shutting off ALL suggestions based on search history, or completely wiping the history clean each time I log off. Is there really no way to get firefox to stop suggesting personal information, like user names without blocking other useful, not-so-personal information?

How about opening the sites in a new private browsing window? Once the window is closed, the history for that session will be deleted. Please see the following link for more info: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/private-browsing-use-firefox-without-history
