I've made a related feature request to include an option to force Firefox to give the option to autofill any arbitrary field as a credit card, address, whatever. This is because 9 times out of 10, Firefox either fails to recognize a field and doesn't offer an autofill option, or something else is going on. If I was able to right click on an empty field and select, "Fill from credit cards," this would solve my problem.

I inspected some of these elements and see that they seem to contain the correct type of markup, with the proper autocomplete="cc-number" attribute. So why is Firefox not recognizing that field? Why is it not popping up an option to autofill?

tl;dr: there is no option to autofill even on correctly marked-up forms. Nothing pops up. My credit cards are stored correctly, I'm logged in as the correct user, the feature works on *some* checkout forms, just not most of them.

edit: I don't know how to delete this. turns out this is a known bug on firefox on linux. Firefox cannot actually save payment info, but doesn't serve an error to the user. however in the console it will throw a NS_ERROR_ABORT error: "User canceled OS unlock entry" error when it tries to save. the one solution i looked at seemed way too complicated for me so i am simply going to give up and try to keep my cc closer to me and not get frustrated when it doesn't work.

Used to use kiwi browser which remembered all the data field entries. Not just password and username. Since switching over to Firefox, I've had to remember other fields that are required and type them in manually.

Autofill for forms is great. Until a recent update, it would fill in all of the information it had-name, address, phone, email-that a form wanted. Recently, it started filling in only a single item at a time, so I have two separate entries for name, 3 or 4 for address, another for phone, etc. Can I get back to the prior system?

The Address / Profile Autofill (full-form, 1-click filling) all of a sudden stopped working a few days ago. Only single-form works. I have to go to each box on a form individually and click on it to have the info fill in (Never had to do that before). And the "History" icon is showing to the left side of every info of mine that i click on to fill in (Never seen that before). Everything in the settings is still the same, nothing on my end has changed. It's set to automatically fill in my Name, Address, E-mail, Phone Number in 1-click, like it has THOUSANDS OF TIMES BEFORE. All my info is showing in settings, but not on any forms on any websites. The same websites i've been using all along, that filled in ALL my info with 1 click, all of a sudden went to single individual form last week. I asked AI what the problem could be. It gave me a few suggestions and fixes. Tried all of them, made no difference. All the settings it had me check were correct. HELP! (Thank you)

I use the setting that puts the menu bar on the bottom of the screen (URL bar, tabs, etc). When I have the autofill addresses setting checked, it puts this autofill bar right above the menu bar at the bottom. This becomes an issue when the bottom of the web page has crucial information or buttons that I cannot see without going back into the settings and disabling the autofill addresses setting.

I find this annoying. Is there any way to make the autofill bar at the top of the screen or easily swiped away temporarily so that I can see the bottom of the screen in the situation? I really dont want to have to put the menu/URL bar back on the top of the screen since my hands are kind of small.

When there is a field to fill in my credit card info, the info will appear and let me select the CC I want to use but when I move away from the field the CC info goes away.

Hi,

The saved address, saved cards pop-up/suggestion that is shown in the bottom of the browser window can not be dissmised and it covers the footer of the web page. Many pages nowadays have "Next"/"Finish" wizard buttons in the footer/bottom of the web page and because the address suggestion pop-up can only be minimised and maximized the buttons are not accesble and this blocks the user from being able to use the webpage. Possible solutions: 1. Make the pop-up dismissable with a slide left/right or an X button. 2. Move it to the top of the page or make it movable. 3. Stop making it in an overlay fashion 4. Change the shape from the full width bar to something else that will not cover the whole footer.

Please analyze and fix this issue as fast as possible because it is the only reason I am not able to use the Firefox browser on my mobile phone.

Whenever I shop online, when I start to input my credit card number at checkout, the last 4 digits of every credit card I've ever used comes up in Autofill. All I have to do is select one, then select its exp date, and it fills in the slots automatically. I find this very convenient, and I trust that it's secure as long as the site itself is. BUT by now, several of the cards that come up have either expired or are no longer in use. HOW DO I DELETE THEM FROM FIREFOX' AUTOFILL LIST? Please help--I've been unable to find the answer to this Q, though I've thoroughly searched. I'm losing patience. I don't want a lot of unused/expired cards on your Autofill. Thank you!

Hi - I am running Thunderbird release 140.12.1esr (aarch64) on a desktop Mac runnning Sequoia 15.7.3.

Thunderbird is set up to take addresses from my personal address book. When I bring up Collected Addresses in the Thunderbird address book, there are no email [or any other kind of] addresses listed. Absolutely nothing in Collected Addresses within the Thunderbird address book.

There are 21 email and other addresses listed in my Mac OSX address book. When I search my stored email messages, Thunderbird brings up each and every address that matches the string in my query. The matches appear to go back more than twenty years.

I have searched the web on how to clear the autocomplete cache. There appear to be several different methods. I have tried bringing up the matches via the string and the resulting query, and then scrolling through the matches with the down arrow key. When I reach an address I would like to remove from the autocomplete cache, I have tried clicking on various combinations of keys. These combinations include:

1) Shift + Delete keys 2) Option + Delete keys 3) Command + Delete keys 4) Option + Command + Delete keys 5) Just the Delete key

My intuition tells me the autocomplete cache must be stored somewhere in a file. I cannot conceive of the autocomplete cache being maintained across versions, hosts, etc. over a period spanning twenty years without getting stored in a file.

Please enlighten me on how to clear out the junk email addresses in my autocomplete cache.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,

Corwin
