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

I am unable to view old payment methods in order to delete them. When I go to Settings, Passwords and Autofill, Payment Methods, Manage Payment Methods, I can only add new methods. The old methods do not show up, i.e. the list is blank. I have many old payment methods that I'd like to delete that show up in drop-down when I click in a credit card number field. Thanks, Ed Moulton

I have card data saved for a number of cards in Firefox, and I am looking to clean that data up. However, when I go to Settings>Passwords and autofill>Payment methods>Manage payment methods no cards are showing up as saved. I also know that this is not Lastpass causing issues, as this card data is not saved in Lastpass. I have attached screenshots of both the manage payments page and the card data showing up for autofill selection on a webpage add payment method screen.

Manage payment methods list missing

I have several saved cards in 152.0.1 (64-bit). When on a payment site the drop-down list shows up as expected, so the extensions.formautofill.creditCards.supportedCountries is correct and working (GB). Also address filling still works, as does saved passwords,

However if I try to "Manage payment methods" the resulting list in "about:preferences#managePayments" is blank. (see image)

I have tried toggling on and off "save & autofill" and restarting, but nothing helps.

Adding a new card works, and the new card appears in the drop-down list on a payment form, but still nothing appears to edit or remove in the settings. How an I edit this list?

PS: I have disabled ALL extensions.

The summary says it all. Some time in the pas few days, my saved payment methods disappeared. If I try to use Add new payment method, enter my information and then save, the same things happens. It just disappears as if I hadn't done anything. Any suggestions on why it's suddenly refusing to remember my payment info?

I have credit card auto-filling enabled and several credit cards active. However, most of the time, when I go to use the autofill, though the card choices appear and I am able to select one, and it usually temporarily shows the fields to be filled, when the menu closes, the auto-fills are gone! It's worse than not having autofill at all. This seems to happen the majority of sites where I try to use it.

Autofill Permits Wrong 'Name on Card'

Hello,

Several e-commerce sites have forms for payment card details, and some of them have a field for ‘Name on Card’. Some sites fill in this field with what they think is the name on the card and, in my experience, it is often wrong. If the user deletes the mistaken value autofill will insert the correct name where it was, but, if the aberrant entry is left in place, autofill will not change it, and the payment can be refused. Would it be an idea to have autofill insert the correct name even if the field already has a value? If the value written by the site is correct then nothing is changed, but if it is wrong a refusal could be forestalled.

Alan.
