Follow the steps below.

Note that the site you want to clear might be different from what is shown (campus.owu.edu for OWU Self-Service,) and also your Firefox browser might have a light background, rather than dark.

  1. Click the lock icon in Firefox's address bar.

  3. Click the Remove button.
