Stop saving any form data or usernames
Hello,
I have autofills and login savings disabled, but browser still seems to be saving form data including usernames. How do I disable browser saving any form inputs altogether?

If you disable the login manager then Firefox can use use saved form data to store the username.
- Settings -> Privacy & Security
Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": "Remember search and form history" - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatically-fill-your-address-web-forms

That could be the form filler built into Firefox. Click in the field, enter a character or two and STOP ! Using the arrow keys, highlight an unwanted entry. Then press Shift + Delete
Repeat as needed.
You could also try out Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history
Firefox Private Browsing is great for viewing websites without saving things like cookies, temp files, and a history of the pages you visit.

Thank you for your answer, Fred.
Your suggestion with Shift + DEL indeed deletes them from the list, but is there a way to stop Firefox saving any data at all, so I don't need to keep deleting same stuff all over again? I use forms like that on my day job, so Incognito mode isn't really an answer for me. Names and numbers stack up very quickly, so I find Firefox suggesting any inputs at all only very annoying.
Type about:preferences#privacy<enter> in the address box. Look for Forms and Autofill
Or you can try out Private Browsing posted above.
