You only disabled the Autofill feature in the safari but still the typed username and the password are still in the Safari Password manager stored because of the Autofill feature. you have to remove them from the safari password manager to clear out your facebook username and the password from the browser. so go to the
"Edit Menu" > Preferences > AutoFill tab
and find the "Usernames and the Passwords" in front of that text there is a button called "EDIT"
click on it and Click on the "Remove all' Button now Press on the "OKAY" and Restart the browser (if it still shows) then it should resolve your issue. Smile

FOR easy reading.
----------------------------

if you want to get rid them then type the first letter of your facebook username in the textbox field that asks your username on the facebook site and press on the DOWN ARROW of your keyboard and Highlight the username (don't use the mouse to highlight it)and press on the DEL button on your keyboard.

TECHNICAL EXPLANATION
--------------------------------


EDIT: oh I think it's a common thing in most of browsers that typed texts save in the text boxes

(let's say if you have a textbox which named "username" (the textboxs are named by the developers (the names are invisible to the users but still they are there) if it's facebook then they give name to each element in the facebook page because they are the developer of the facebook site) then if you type any text in this box then it's saved for this name of the textbox in the browser so whenever you type the same text in another textbox (but when it's name is same) then it shows the previously you typed text in this textbox , it is just there to save your time so you don't need to type over and over again what you have already typed, but it only works when the names are same and the typed of the element is same (example textbox and "username")
)
if you want to get rid them then type the first letter of your facebook username and click the DOWN ARROW of your keyboard and Highlight the username (don't use the mouse to highlight it)and press on the DEL button on your keyboard.
