When I go to a web site and start to enter my email address, a drop down list appears that contains email addresses to choose from. However, some of the addresses are old and I don't use them anymore and one of them is incorrect. Is there a way to clean up the list. I presume this is a windows 10 issue since it happens all the time. On the other hand, could it be a FireFox browser issue?

This would be autofill most likely and many browsers have there own. I'd start with Fire Foxes autofill and if you still have the bad entries they may be pulling from Internet Explorer
