The Location Bar, Search Bar and some form fields on web pages have autocomplete dropdowns that appear with a list of previously-entered data. To delete individual entries:

- Press down to activate autocomplete
- Highlight the entry you want deleted by using the arrow keys or hovering over it with your mouse
- Delete (In Firefox 1.5, Shift + Delete).
You can delete your entire autocomplete lists by using Tools -> Clear Private Data.
