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.
