When logging on to AOL under Foxfire, it remembers every email address I've tried before and tries to autofill. How do I turn this off?
I'm on a MacBook Pro6.2 running OS X(10.6.8) I'm using AOL as my email. When I start to enter my email Logon ID, it tries to autofill form every way I've typed that address. How do I turn off this autofill feature for the LogonID in AOL?

Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop-down list:
- click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop-down list
- highlight an entry in the drop-down list with the mouse or cursor Down key
do not click the mouse or press the Enter key - press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to delete the highlighted entry
It could be possible that AOL stores these entries on the server or in a cookie, so you have to look for such a remember feature.

In the input field, enter a character. If anything shows up, highlight the entry using the arrow keys. Then press Delete. Repeat until everything is gone.
I tried the proposed solution to begin typing and select the name with the arrow keys. It will select one of them, but when I then hit delete it is still there.

Thank you very much. The missing data was that I had to use "Shift-Delete" on the Mac to get it to work. I was trying it with just the Delete key and it was deleting letters from the entry box.
