Delete random auto-complete entry in Firefox

OK, here it is our first post which does not mean that it’s the most important one…
First I want to mention that there is a way to delete all the private data you have entered in Firefox:
TOOLS->OPTIONS->PRIVACY “Private Data” field.
When you press “CLEAR NOW” button you have a choice which one (Browse History, Search History, Saved Form and Search History, Cache, etc.) to be wiped out. But what if you need most of the data and you want only part of it out?
This post is about the auto-complete feature (It is actually called Saved Form and Search History in Firefox options) – if you like using it but you are pissed off of all the entries you had entered by mistake or they are not relevant anymore than you really need to get rid of them. So this is the way you do it:
- Start typing in the field that has the entries or just press ALT+”down arrow” – this should bring the select list up;
- Select unwanted entry and hit CTRL+DEL or SHIFT+DEL – whatever is more convenient to you, both work;
- Repeat step 1 and 2 for all unwanted entries;
- Enjoy having only required entries.
