Autocomplete form entries won't delete in Firefox

Post by ssmolkin »

In Internet Explorer, individual autocomplete entries in a drop down box on a form can be deleted by using the down arrow to select a particular entry and then hitting the Delete key.

Is there similar functionality in Firefox? If so, is there something I need to do to activate it, or an extention I need to load? As a last resort.. are there registry entries I can directly manipulate?

The IE deletion method described above works fine on my computer when using IE, but does not work in Firefox (latest version).

Greetings:

Can we either get this thread updated, as this no longer works, or deleted, please?

Thanks!
