HTML <button> autocomplete Attribute
Example
<button type="button" autocomplete="off">Click Me!</button>
Meaning
This attribute on a <button> is nonstandard and Firefox-specific. Unlike other browsers, Firefox persists the dynamic disabled state of a <button> across page loads. Setting autocomplete="off" on the button disables this feature.
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.
Standard Syntax
<button type="button|reset|submit" autocomplete="on|off">
