Take a look at this documentation page: Autofill logins on Firefox

Three other ways a user name (but not a complete login) might be populated into a form are:

(A) Form history

See: Control whether Firefox automatically fills in forms

(B) Browser cache

Reload the page bypassing the cache with one of these methods:

  • Shift+click the Reload button on the toolbar
  • Ctrl+Shift+R
  • Ctrl+F5 key

(C) Page script using a value stored in a cookie

To remove the site's cookies. while viewing a page on the site, click the lock icon at the left end of the address bar. After a moment, a "Clear Cookies and Site Data" button should appear at the bottom. Go ahead and click that. Firefox will ask you to confirm; go ahead and confirm. Then try reloading the page.

Have you been able to track it down and clear it?
