Autofill often fails to fill forms and leaves suggested logins open breaking the back button (browser closes instead of going back a page). Hacker News ( https://news.ycombinator.com/login ) is one such form where only the password is filled in when using suggested logins and the ui element stays open breaking normal back-button usage. This issue has persisted since at least a few Firefox releases ago, I don't recall if this happened on Android 12, before I upgraded to 13. I use Android 13 on a Google Pixel 7 Pro, the only addon I use/have enabled is uBlock Origin.

I don't really have a question, just an issue & scenario to report, apologies if this is improper. I've been a happy desktop&mobile user since the pheonix days. I'll help where I can.

Hi

Thank you for your patience while we have been looking into the password auto-fill issue in Firefox for Android. I have been advised by our developers that this issue is due to be fixed in Firefox for Android 117, which is due to be made available from the end of this month. Please look out for an update from the Google Play store.

Thank you.
