How do i stop firefox from auto suggesting my email adress after i type the first letter

after the first letter typed it comes up with lots of suggestions even ones i've typed by mistake and i would like to clear these

You can very quickly eliminate the mistyped entries with the down cursor key and use of "Del" key on the selected item ("Shift+Del" on a Mac). So you would just have the ones you want. You do not need to type the first letter you can double-click within the entry box to see all items whether to use or to delete.
That does not answer what you asked. If you only want to suppress that, I don't think that would be possible with Firefox alone, but I also would not think that you would want to suppress all autoform entry because of that.

  • How do I stop Firefox from auto-focusing on text boxes?

    How do I stop Firefox from auto-focusing on text boxes? Sometimes as a page is loading, I scroll down the page...only to have the page jump back to where there is a text box, with a blinking cursor, after the page is finished loading. It is an annoying feature and I want to turn it off.

    Some pages use an onload event to set the focus to a text area or search field.
    You can try NoScript to see if that blocks it.

    Superfluous names appear after I type the first letter of a person's name in the text message address bar. Most of these names are people I rarely if ever have contact with, but may have once or twice. They are not in my contact list. How may I get rid of them?

    They will also be listed in 'Previous Recipients' in Mail. You should also delete them there.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • How can I stop firefox from auto saving user ids for various websites? I do not want them to be remembered for security reseasons

    I do not wish to start typing my user id for a website and it automatically coming up as a choice since it has been remembered from a previous attempt. How can I delete firefox from remembering it so I just always type it myself?

    The [[Form autocomplete]] article has information on deleting saved entries and preventing the browser from remembering form entries in the future.

  • How can I restore automatic display & selection of addresses of contacts when I type the first letter on my Yahoo addressee bar?

    When filling out the addressees (T0, Cc, and Bcc bars) on a new mail in Yahoo, I would type the first few letters of each addressee, and get a display of the names and e-mail addresses starting with those letters. I would simply highlight the ones I wanted to include, and these would be automatically placed on the corresponding bar. For some reason, this display/autotext is not functioning. So I now have to go to "Contacts" to look up addresses that I haven't memorized.

    Hi Silky-Milky!
    If I understand your question correctly, you are attempting to merge your contacts from your previous phone's backup into your iCloud account, then go back to using your new phone as normal, with the new merged database of contacts. I have an article that can tell you how to do exactly that:
    Recovering iCloud or MobileMe data from iTunes backups for an iOS device

    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • How do I stop Firefox from auto-loading websites on startup? Why doesn't it use the cache?

    When I open up Firefox, I see a row of "loading circles" swishing around. I don't want my browser to do this, because it slows down my internet connection, it's unnecessary 95% of the time (I often keep tabs open just to have quick access to some text), and sometime it's actually detrimental (for example, when the page has changed since the last time I loaded it, but I actually wanted the information from the former state of the page).
    How do I fix it so that Firefox uses the cached page instead of trying to load a new one?
    To clarify: I want Firefox to load the new page when I visit a bookmark, or click on a link to a page I've seen before, or press the reload button. I just don't want it to do this when all I've done is start up Firefox.
    Let the tabs sit there until I tell them to do something! Can anyone help?
    Using:
    Firefox 9.0.1
    Windows XP SP3

    Yes, but at least the start will be faster and only one tab ta the time is checked on the server.

  • How do I stop Firefox from checking add-on compatibilty every time I start the program?

    In the past 2 days, every time I start Firefox, a "What's New" tab (checking for compatibility of add-ons?) pops up in addition to my homepage tab. How can I keep the "What's New" tab from coming up? It seems like this starting happening after I updated to Firefox 6.0.
    Running Windows Vista
    Firefox 6.0

    Firefox 8 i am on and its doing the same,very annoying,ill be going back to previous version...
    do you guys at Firefox ever check your update's on any of your own computers before you release them?
    might be a good idea,its the same with kylo,updates come screw everything up when they were working fine...im am a house builder,if i built houses with this many errors i'd be bankrupt by now....

  • How do I stop Safari from automatically loading a URL when I start typing the first few letters in the URL/search bar?

    My question concerns a bug (or feature, I'm not sure which) that I've been seeing for some time on my Safari installations.
    I'm running Lion (the latest patched version) with Safari (ditto). I've noticed that every so often, if I open a new tab and start typing something in the search/URL bar, Safari will not only suggest something based on my history, but will actually begin loading the page as though I had accepted that suggestion.
    For example, today, I typed the letter "b" in the search/URL bar, paused for a few seconds while I was thinking of what to type next, and Safari went ahead and loaded "bugzilla.gnome.org" based on that being the last URL starting with "b" that I happened to have gone to. And the same thing has happened to me on earlier occasions with different web sites. In other words, it's not merely giving me a suggestion, it then proceeds as though I had accepted that suggestion. Sometimes it might happen to be right, but it's the principle of the thing.
    Needless to say, I hadn't inadvertently bumped the Enter key.
    Of course, ordinarily, Safari will just offer a list of suggestions based on my bookmarks and browsing history, maybe filling out the URL bar with the topmost suggestion (while giving me the option of overtyping it if I wish). And, of course, this happens without fail if I've just had Safari preempt me by loading a page and am trying to find out why. Like the best Heisenbugs, this "feature" goes away as soon as I make a concerted attempt to study it.
    I have completely disabled AutoFill in the Preferences dialog. I would clear the cache and history, except that I kind of resent having to do that every time (or turn on private browsing, possibly another option) just to stop the computer from executing an instruction that I haven't even finished giving it yet (and in many cases intend to change).
    Has anyone else seen or been able to disable this feature?

  • How do I stop Firefox from making suggestions when typing?

    A drop down window always appears when I'm typing in a website suggesting an entry. This even happens when I'm entering a password or answering a security question. NOT GOOD!
    I've looked all over the tools to stop this and can find nothing. Can you help?

    You can 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<br>do not click the mouse or press the Enter key
    #press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to delete the highlighted entry

  • How do I stop Firefox from auto-reloading pages after I close one window but not others?

    This happens when I have two or more separate Firefox windows open. If I close one, and then open a new window, it automatically goes to the sites that were open in the window I closed (as if it were restoring after a crash).
    This isn't an issue when I only have one window open, and I have already set the following:
    browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0
    How can I get this to stop?

    accessibility.blockautorefresh is not about restoring tabs from the previous session, but about preventing website from using the location response header to redirect to another website.
    Firefox will always reload web pages.
    Firefox always needs to reload tabs when you restore tabs from the previous session.
    *Tools > Options > General > Startup: [X] "Don’t load tabs until selected"
    If restore_on_demand is set, pinned tabs are restored on startup by default.
    When restore_on_demand is set to true, the restore_pinned_tabs_on_demand pref overrides that behavior, and pinned tabs will only be restored when they are focused.
    browser.sessionstore.restore_pinned_tabs_on_demand (pinned tabs)(false)
    browser.sessionstore.restore_on_demand (default as set in Options -> Tabs)(true)
    browser.sessionstore.restore_hidden_tabs (tabs in other tab groups)(false)

  • How can I stop firefox from auto discovering printers on fedora?

    On Linux Fedora (19 & 20 at least, likely others) Firefox automatically finds network attached printers, completely independently of CUPS. The printer it finds for me is legitimate, but it doesn't install drivers to make it work correctly. If this printer is used, it will print out gibberish; sometimes PDF control language, other times total junk. It won't render the page right, and wastes tons of paper.
    Thanks!

  • How do I stop Firefox from playing video after I navigate from the page or leave Firefox?

    Simple and annoying. . Extremely frustrating issue with Firefox for Android. ..
    I watch a YouTube video or any flash video. . And after I hit play, the ONLY way to stop it is to hit pause or let it play to the end or close the tab. .
    It will NOT automatically stop if I open another tab. or if I navigate from Firefox. .
    I feel this is a very basic feature. Did I set something up that was wrong?
    Can I ask two questions?
    I have another extremely annoying and frustrating problem with Firefox for Android.
    The "top" (if you pull down the tabs) search bar DOES NOT allow my stock Samsung keyboard to auto space. . Thus instead of typing
    "How do I stop Firefox from playing video after I navigate from the page or leave Firefox?"
    I'll type in
    "HowdoIstopFirefoxfromplayingvideoafterInavigatefromthepageorleaveFirefox?"
    Unless I manually got the space bar.
    Using a recently factory data reset Samsung Galaxy s4 active.. android 4.2.2 and stock Samsung keyboard ... Firefox 34.0.1
    Thanks in advanced.
    Ps
    I was a hardcore xscope user for years and just recently gave in to Firefox when i lost all my bookmarks due to a forced factory data reset. .

    I'm using a different keyboard which works fine in the most top search bar...
    I cannot believe that it's not a feature.
    What if I was watching a video and wanted to shut it off quickly? I'll have to hit back? Wait for the previous screen to load then hit the power button?
    Please tell me that feature ids soon to come

  • How can I stop safari from auto completing url's on my iphone 4 and ipad2?

    How can I stop safari from auto completing url's on my iphone 4 and ipad2?  On both devices I have cleared history, I have gone into settings-safari-and cleared history and cleared cookies & data, tried turning my devices on and off and I also have private browsing turned on. Both devices are operating on iOS 5.  When I type in a url I don't want anything to show and auto complete.  Any suggestions?

    This indicates corrupt files.
    A restore should resolve.
