<br>
Firefox also maintains saved passwords (and asks you if you want to save them when you type them in.)<br>
<br>
Check Preferences ? Security ? Saved Passwords.<br>
<br>
If this is the case, Amazon probably doesn?t know your name and saved password, until you?ve submitted the form.<br>

IN Firefox "Clear all history" includes cookies. So I've removed all<br>
cookies as well when the information shows up.<br>

That seems odd. I don't use FF, so I can't say for sure, but in chrome the<br>
two are separate. It does have "clear browsing data", which has checkmarks<br>
to choose which datasets to clear (cache, cookies, history, etc)<br>
<br>
<br>
