Q: Safari and Firefox Log-in problems

I'm having trouble logging in to some websites.  In particular Facebook and Spotify.

 

When I open either, my wife's login/password details are displayed.  I change them to mine by changing to my username then selecting my details from the Autofill pop-up. Autofill completes the password for me. When I click on the login button for either of these websites, instead of my details being passed to the website and my version opening, the login details get switched back instantly to my wife's login details and I get her web pages version instead.

 

To add to this, Spotify now jumps straight to my wife's log-in and is no longer giving me the opportunity to insert my own login details.

 

I'm running El Capitan on a brand new iMac (iMac Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015) that has just been migrated to from a Time Machine backup created by my mid-2007 iMac that sadly passed away last week. On my old iMac this ID re-switching problem didn't happen.

 

Only a couple of websites present me with this problem so far.

 

Is there a setting I need to adjust to prevent the login reverting to my wife's details?

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5), iMac 24 Mid 2007;
