If you are concerned about the potential issues that might arise from this practice, then it’s probably a good idea to delete your stored login information from Firefox. Our tutorial below will show you a quick method for doing this.

Step 2: Click the button at the top-right corner of the window with three horizontal lines on it. Step 3: Choose Options. Step 4: Click the Privacy & Security tab in the left column of this window. Step 5: Click the Saved Logins button under Forms & Passwords. Step 6: Click the Remove All button at the bottom of the window.
