Get Rid of Bad Auto-Complete Entries in Firefox

firefox_logo Previously I had read a tip on Lifehacker about removing entries in Firefox’s address bar auto-complete by pressing SHIFT+DELETE on the highlighted entry.  Later, when logging into Gmail, I noticed that the username auto-complete drop down had one bad entry, and one correct entry.  So I thought to myself “why not try SHIFT+DELETE” on the bad entry.  I highlighted the bad entry, pressed SHIFT+DELETE and blam!  Bad entry gone, now there is only one username in the auto-complete history for that field, so it’s automatically filled in!

    Awesome tip. I have so many duplicate login entries, it’s crazy. I will SHIFT-DELETE my way into Firefox nirvana.
