Firefox Community Forum

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.

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.

Changed behavior of autofill is a small thing. A few weeks ago, I could enter the first few letters of a site and then down arrow to choose one from the list. Down arrow no longer works here.

A significantly bigger issue allowing a website to open a window or tab or popup. There used to be two buttons when this happens, allow and always allow. Always allow is no longer a choice. I have to click allow every single time I go to that web site. Since two of those sites are the enrollment and learning management systems where I work, I'm doing that 20 times a day. If disappearing the always allow button was a design decision, it was a bad one.

Why without updating the browser I have a problem where the browser no longer shows the window with the suggested password

Why does your browser break without anyone's intervention, why does it stop showing the password insertion menu as before, and there is no way to fix it. Every time you screw up, I just have to reinstall the browser?

At some point, I told firefox my credit card details, and enabled supplying them to websites on (my) request.

This has stopped working, It offers the correct credit card (at least the correct final digits) but does nothing when I click on it.

A previous article suggested that going into settings and editing the credit card might fix this, presumably because this undoes some corruption previously introduced by firefox code.

I tried this and found that clicking on "edit" is also a no-op.

-- I'm running Firefox 150.0.3 (64-bit), installed as a "snap', on kubuntu 26.04 LTS

My installed extensions are OneTab, Proton Pass, and uBlock Origin.

Firefox has been repeatedly auto-upgraded - approximately every two weeks - until I got sick of the churn and researched how to stop it.

The OS has been updated to a new version, once, and had various bits and pieces upgraded repeatedly.

It's likely that I supplied the credit card while still on the versions installed with this system, so there's been time for repeated upgrades to break something.

I do not log into firefox, i.e. I don't share this firefox config. with any other firefox installations.

Hey team,

I am using Firefox 136 browser and browsing my browser sound suddenly has disappeared. The PC sound is just fine with other applications, even with Opera browser I tested. Help is needed.

I use Nordpass password manager. If I try and open a site from Nordpass , Firefox Relay overlays the page , preventing the use of Nordpass. How can I disable this Firefox Relay?

I recently imported passwords and usernames for auto-fill from chrome and a few of the websites will not auto-fill my username. I have to manually type the username every time even though i can see they are saved in the Firefox browser.

I would like to be able to restrict autofill of my name, address, phone number, ect to only (1 or 2) certain websites. I don't want it to be available for all other websites. Can this be done?
