Nedavno Yvan@office <me@privacy.net> pise:

| I am using firefox 1.0.4 for my browsing, and have a small problem
| with auto-complete (or what's it called).
|
| When I visit a page that requires some data to be entered, if I click
| on field where I have to enter data (username for instance), I get a
| list with data (usernames) I entered in the past. Now that is OK, as I
| sometimes forget what username I used on that particular page, and
| have to look in my notebook. But if I mistyped sometime in the past,
| and if I have multiple accounts there (like Gmail), list is too long.
|
| Does someone knew where firefox stores this data, so I can edit that
| file (I do not want to erase all data, I knew that I can do that)?

There seems to be a file:

~/.mozilla/firefox/qyd237nu.default/formhistory.dat

that may be the right one. But it looks like this:

------------------------------------------------------------------
// <!-- <mdb:mork:z v="1.4"/> -->
< <(a=c)> // (f=iso-8859-1)
  (80=ns:formhistory:db:row:scope:formhistory:all)
  (81=ns:formhistory:db:table:kind:formhistory)(82=Value)(83=Name)>

<(80=q$00)(81=w$00e$00a$00t$00h$00e$00r$00)(82
   
=s$00e$00a$00r$00c$00h$00b$00a$00r$00-$00h$00i$00s$00t$00o$00r$00y$00)
(83=r$00e$00p$00u$00b$00l$00i$00
$00h$00i$00d$00r$00o$00m$00e$00t$00e$00o$00)
<snip>
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Any ideas how to edit it?
