In Firefox & IE how to remove suggested autocomplete entries for forms

Many times I mistype something while completing a form, it maybe a user name or address or whatever.  I do not want to have to scroll past it again and again as Firefox suggests it in the suggestion drop down box as I use the same phrase in another similar form.

It is simple to delete an entry from the autocomplete dropdown.  Type into any form field until the dropdown box appears.  Next use the cursor keys to move to the entry to be deleted and press ‘SHIFT’ plus ‘DELETE’ and the entry is gone. (For those using IE just hit the  ‘DELETE’ key)

Simple tip, but if you are like me you like having a clean system, free of errors {grin}.
