Preventing Firefox from Remembering the Input Value on Refresh with a Meta Tag

Preventing Firefox from remembering the input value on refresh with a meta tag

For an input tag there's the attribute autocomplete you can set:

<input type="text" autocomplete="off" />

You can use autocomplete for a form too.

Firefox keeps form data on reload

Just add autocomplete="off" to your inputs and you will solve the problem.

<input type="text" autocomplete="off">

jQuery to solve this on all inputs and textareas

$('input,textarea').attr('autocomplete', 'off');

Is there a way to tell Firefox not to remember the state of my input fields on page refresh?

You can set the element or the form to autocomplete="off" to disable state preservation, but that also disables input autocomplete, of course.

Bug With Firefox - Disabled Attribute of Input Not Resetting When Refreshing

This is a "feature" of Firefox which remembers form input values across page refreshes. To fix this behavior, you simply set autocomplete="off" on the form containing the inputs, or just directly to the input.

This stops autocomplete from working and prevents the browser from remembering the state of input fields.

Alternatively, you can just "hard-refresh" by clicking CTRL+F5. This will completely reset the current page.

Firefox: what is the difference between reloading a page and re-getting page?

Imagine you spent 3 hours writing something and you somehow reloaded page, everything can be lost, so Firefox auto fill these fields for you. It helps you to not loose data.

Sometimes reloading page keeps some relationship with previous state, while re-getting - not. Example you submit form. Re-get will load page again with default values, reloading will try to resubmit form.

Firefox cache textarea value?

For textarea only:

<textarea autocomplete="off"></textarea>

For all form fields
