Problem

How can I make Firefox "invalidate" it's saved HTTP Basic Auth credentials for a website from the client side? Currently, I have to restart the browser, which is rather cumbersome with multiple tabs open. Is there a way to do this without having to restart Firefox/clear the cache/etc.

Fix for: How do I make Firefox forget HTTP Basic Auth?

Low Risk

You can choose Clear Recent History from the History menu (Ctrl + Shift + Del, Macs: Cmd ⌘ + Shift + Del). You can then select to just clear Active Logins from the details to just clear those sessions. In older versions of Firefox (such as FF3), Clear Recent History is under the Tools menu. The shortcut is the same.
