Firefox Fanatic tip of the day (workflow)

Ever type in your username or something in a text field and accidentally misspell it? You can actually delete those unwanted saved entries! It makes signing in much, much easier (it also helps if you're constantly entering new text into a certain text field and you want to keep the correct lines without having to clear your entire saved form history in Firefox).

1) Click in the text field.
2) Arrow down to highlight the line you want to delete (but don't click on it).
3) Hit Delete. (Or on a laptop, hold down Shift and hit Delete.)
4) Watch it go away forever!

Apparently this was common knowledge years ago, and I'm just joining the conga line now. Enjoy.
