I would like to delete auto-complete entries one at a time. There is no way to
delete individual auto-complete entries currently. While filling out a form,
after the auto complete drop down appears, I would like to select one entry and
hit the delete button to remove the entry from the list. I think there is a
similar feature in IE.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Fill a field in a form with two different entries (e.g. two different gmail
login names)
2. Access the same web site, and start filling the same field. Auto-complete
drop down appears, containing the two entries.

Actual Results:  
Both entries made previously are visible in the drop down. There is no way to
remove one.

Expected Results:  
I would like to be able to remove individual entries.

See bug 241774 for changing the shortcut to Delete (to match IE, to be more discoverable).
