Hello Mozilla Support Team,

On various sites where we are not talking about forms, simple fields.. fields that I fill in on a weekly basis with same data, history of said field does not come up with a drop-down menu to choose item from.

In Options, Privacy - Security, History: Firefox will remember History is selected, yet the function is not working.

Could you please advise how to enforce history of free-text fields of any given site?

Great example: grabbing subtitle for series on a weekly basis typing the name of the series itself. Or looking back, from time to time, at topics previously researched for updates. With google, it seems to be working, offering up a bunch of possibilities as you type, putting it in purple which you have already seen. It does not seem to be working with any other site.

Thanks for your help in advance.

P.S. Attachment. Starting to type Blue Bloods which I have searched for 100+ times yet entering B.. L.. brings up nothing from history.

This is all I know about it; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatically-fill-address-and-credit-cards

You might be better off with a form filler add-on.

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web Link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for what you want.

A single field or many, it does not matter to the form fillers.
