I use Firefox and have saved my User ID and Passwords for my ATT email (https://currently.att.yahoo.com/) and my ATT account (att.com). It was populating these fields before but now the User ID wont populate and I have to type the info in. The Password populates OK. What happened and what can I do to get it to work?

I'm guessing that it's a security feature on some sites. Even when logging into my Firefox account via Waterfox, it won't fill in my email even though it has the account saved. see screenshot Once I enter the correct email address it does fill in my password. Someone more familiar with Dev can verify my assumption.

Some websites send a code to disable the auto-filling of login data. But I have found that form fillers are not affected by this.
