In Firefox, when you want to even clear auto-logins, this requires 
you to clear your passwords also. So, in order to do so, you must 
go into"
Edit> Preferences > Security and go down to the Passwords area and 
click on the button "Saved Passwords" and then click Remove All or 
remove the ones you don't want.

Something handy also, if you never want history is to go to the 
Preferences > Privacy then click Firefox will... and change 
"Remember History" to "Never Remember History".

This is on the Linux-Firefox side, but I recall it being very 
similiar if not exactly the same to the Windows-Firefox side.
