Even though my laptop is not a public computer, I prefer not to save my log-in info on any of the websites I regularly frequent. However, over the past year or two, I have accidentally ticked “Save My Info” or however they phrase it on two or three websites. I have not been able to undo that. Does anyone know how I can reset that? I’ve done all the usual stuff such as deleting cookies. Thanks in advance. ---

usually, in the spot in your web browser that lets you clean out cookies history and the like there’s a box that has “autofill data” as an option make sure that’s checked and that should do it … ---

In the upper right of the Firefox window there is a “hamburger” icon (3 horizontal lines). Click on it, then click “passwords”. This should lead to a page view with your passwords, and you can change or delete them there. Alternative route: menu bar, “extra” menu, settings item, then scroll down below “privacy”. At this settings item, you can also disable the storing of passwords entirely. ---

Wonderful. I knew there had to be a way. Thanks again.
