Question of the Day
• What do I do to erase Saved form information in Firefox?
When you enter information in web forms (for example your name, e-mail address, credit card information, etc) or the search bar (keywords you enter in search engines, etc.) that information is saved and Firefox can give suggestions when you enter information in forms in the future. Saved form information (autocomplete) helps you complete forms by suggesting possible matches - you can simply press the down arrow key and select the text without finishing typing.
While AutoComplete feature may be helpful for some things, it can also seriously compromise your security and privacy, as anyone who has access to your computer can see what web sites you visited and what information you entered on web pages. Also various malicious software can use Saved form information to steal your personal information such as your name, e-mail address, credit card information and/or retrieve web sites passwords stored as autocomplete data.
To erase Saved form information in Firefox 2.0 manually:
• Select "Tools"
• Select "Options".
• Select "Privacy".
• In Private area click "Clear Now".
• In "Clear Private Data" window put the check mark for "Saved form and Search History" and click "Clear Private Data Now".
• Click OK.
