If you are a Mac user, and fancy Safari as your default internet browser, you are going to want to pay attention to this one.

We suggest Safari users navigate to: Preferences > Auto-fill, and uncheck “Use info from my Address Book card” until Apple sorts this one out. Hit up the read link for more details.
