I downloaded the new version of Firefox. I had the old version set to not remember passwords. The old version also deleted the username, which is what I wanted it to do. On the new version, I've set it to not remember passwords, but now usernames are showing up on my websites. How do I fix this?

I don't want Firefox to save my username or password for sites I use. As a said, the old version allowed me to remove them (both passwords and usernames). While I can get 8.0 to not remember passwords, my username still automatically comes up when I visit certain sites. This was not a problem with the old version.

Thank you, cor-el. It wasn't a problem with passwords, but with the auto form fill feature. All has been resolved.
