CONTEXT Many societies, including most of the Spanish and Portuguese speaking world (~730 million people), use two part surnames. This means the full name in most official documents, including passports, take the format:

Name: <name> Surname: <first surname from father> <first surname from mother>

Here is an example of the famous (deceased) Spanish poet:

Name: Federico Surname: García Lorca

Note the two part surname. There is no hyphen nor should there be one. He has TWO surnames.

PROBLEM A recent update in Firefox introduced a single field for name under Settings > Privacy & Security > Saved Addresses which is used by Autofill to fill forms.

Our poet would enter "Federico García Lorca" under name. If he were then to purchase a plane ticket and rely on Firefox Autofill to fill in the details, Autofill -- in a very narrow anglophone view -- will interpret "García" as a middle name and suppress it.

As a result, the plane ticket will be issued to "Federico Lorca" who is not even the same person, and who may not even exist. Moreover, he may be denied boarding the plane or refused entry into the USA because the name on the ticket does not match any of his official documentation.

I have had to disable Autofill for this reason.

SOLUTION A proposed solution is to do like Edge does: Have separate Name and Surname fields the user can specify.

Thank you.

I keep getting the same DNS error for pages that I have been to 100s of times before. Why is this happening now? I'm guessing it's because of a recent update, but can't imagine why Firefox has an issue with Rebel Sport all of a sudden.

Have attached a copy of the error page. Hoping someone can explain why this is happening and how to get rid of it.

I was just wondering, if its possible to either hide or change the position if the star/bookmark this tab button? I use the button a lot, and it would benefit me greatly, if i could simply move it to the other side of the search bar

Firefox stuck on printed page, "x" doesnt close page. After print dialog opens, the email attempted to be printed shows up on the Firefox tab that I printed from.

If I close the dialog page the page still shows. Clicking the "X' on the top right doesn't close the page. All I could do is click the back button I then need to search the emails again. Hope this is clear enough.

Typical corporate BS refusing to allow access to your support staff!

Why on earth do you expect everyone to be programmers?

Since your browser refuses to update properly I’m obviously needing to find someone else to pay them to replace your crap since you have intentionally made support access impossible and refused to acknowledge messages to fix your malfunctioning update issues!!

I'm using my MX master 3's sidescroll to control the volume. I recently switched to firefox, but I noticed that the volume function doesn't work when mozilla is the active app. I do not have mozilla specific settings and it works with other browsers. Any solutions?
