Turn off automatic fill for all input boxes

I want to turn off the automatic fill of information from 1P in my Firefox browser.

Two problems: 1P tries to fill a Name in a New Contact in my webmail app.

In valid sign in dialog boxes, 1P puts a list of possible usernames/emails that covers the password entry box that is usually below the username entry box. I also use the Firefox form fillin option for those web sites that do not contain private information that I do not want to expose; the 1P list covers the FF list of choices which are most often correct so that I want to use what FF fills in.

So I want to be able to turn off the automatic display of choices by 1P in the sign in boxes and the incorrect Name box in a New Contact form in my web mail.

How do I do this?

1Password Version: 7.9.3
Extension Version: 2.3.0
OS Version: MacOS 10.14.6

    Thanks for the suggestions. I made most of the settings changes in both 1P and FF and I will observe the new behaviors and adjust as necessary.

    Hello @WorldMan,

    Generally, we recommend using 1Password for all filling jobs since it is better and more secure than letting your browsers do that. However, if you want to, you can try these steps to make 1Password leave some of the fillings to your browsers.

    1. Right-click 1Password's icon in Firefox's toolbar > Settings > General > Switch off the "make 1Password the default password manager" option.

    2. Open your browser > copy and paste this text to the browser's address bar: about:preferences#privacy > Press enter / Return > Scroll to "Logins and Passwords" and turn on the Autofill options you want.

    Also, I agree that the inline menu that automatically appears under an input field could sometimes be quite intrusive. In this case, you can try these steps to prevent it from opening from a website until you ask it to do so.

    Right-click the 1Password icon in browser toolbar => Settings => Scroll down to "Autofill" => Turn off "Show autofill menu on field focus".
