How to Delete a Single Saved Form Data Entry in Mozilla Firefox

Have you ever mistyped and saved something in a form while using Firefox? How about submitting something on a form that you’ll never need to use again? When you go to enter information in a form, does it gives you a long list of suggestions, when you regularly only use one entry? As a regular user of products like Google Calendar I often have this problem. Here is a simple trick that will let you clear out the bad or outdated form entries, without clearing all of your form data.

  • Go to the form where the mistake is.

  • Put your cursor in the text entry widget and hit down until the incorrect entry is highlighted.

  • Now press shift + delete

It’s that simple. I hope this helps. Kevin
