    How do i remove saved usernames and passwords on firefox?
    I tried removing history files, i selected all time and checked all boxes but the used usernames still pop up when i click the name box on a site. And when i click the name, the password fills up too...

    Here's some sort of example if you don't know what i am talking about: http://i638.photobucket.com/albums/uu106/Tsunoflare/Other/namesave.png

    In firefox, it might vary depending on the version you have, but in general it is very similar. You can go to Tools and choose to "clear current history" or something like that. It is the equivalent of pressing Ctrl + Shift + Delete. A windows might pop up asking you what type of data you want to delete. Place the check marks on the items to delete.

    To delete the passwords, you can also:
    Go to Tools then Options
    Select the "Security" tab
    In the middle of that window, you have a section to manage the passwords or even turn off the option to remember passwords. Make the changes you want.

    Ctrl+Shift+Delete brings the same history window that i already mentioned on the first post.

    I selected all boxes and selected "Delete from time: All" but it just reset the auto-login(when i go to a site im already logged in) :S

    The passwords are not much of a problem, but i do not want the old, abadoned and friends usernames to pop up.

    Hmm - that's strange. On my pc, if I follow those steps (from the ctrl shift del window) it clears all the entries - including old login names etc.

    Try using CCleaner to see if it clears them for you. For me it does so as well.

    Try:

    Tools > Options > Security (tab) > Saved Passwords (button)

    and just delete everything from the list you don't want.
