Form History Manager
This is a little exercise in using a tree in a Firefox extension.
Firefox 2 update
Hi everyone, jsut a quick note on upgrading to Firefox 2.0.
Unfortunately, the APIs changed quite a bit and some disappeared (might come back once Places is enabled). Until then I can't see any way to implement FHM functionallity in Firefox 2.
I will keep trying, but do not expect too much for quite some time...
If you ever had to clear your form history because you keyed in a password in the wrong form field, you might like this extension.
It adds a menuitem to the tools menu that will open a dialog where you can add/edit/remove form history entries. The global Remove All is the equivalent of clearing the form history in the options dialog.
If the view is restricted using a filter string or the Search History only checkbox, Remove All will remove only items that are currently displayed.

There is also the option to remove one/all entrie(s) by right-clicking in a form input field.
Autocomplete
The extension also manages both a autocomplete whitelist and blacklist. This allows fine grained control per form field.
Please note that the history will still be updated, even with autocomplete diabled. I am still looking for a way to manipulate the history directly, but no luck so far.
