I have changed an ID at a website I use all the time. I want to delete the old ID from Firefox. When I go to the site I am offered a list of ID options when I click in the ID box on the site. I do not want the old ID to be offered to me as an option . I also have some incorrect IDs on other sites that I would like to delete. The passwords are fine, it is the IDs that I need help with.

Remove a saved password here: Firefox > Preferences > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Deleting_autocomplete_entries

We Talk about ID, not PASSWORD

You can highlight an entry in the drop down list on a web page and press Shift + Delete as explained in the Deleting_autocomplete_entries article.
