Start typing slowly until you see the bad entry and STOP ! Now move the mouse over the bad entry, and press Delete.

Is this on Android or Desktop?

Android: There is a way to clear all saved form data or all saved passwords at:

menu > Settings > Privacy > Clear Private Data

But I don't know of a way to remove just one item.

Desktop: Firefox could have saved the username in form history or in saved passwords. If the above tips don't help, try clearing the bad login here:

orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Security > "Saved Passwords"
