CONTEXT Many societies, including most of the Spanish and Portuguese speaking world (~730 million people), use two part surnames. This means the full name in most official documents, including passports, take the format:

Name: <name> Surname: <first surname from father> <first surname from mother>

Here is an example of the famous (deceased) Spanish poet:

Name: Federico Surname: García Lorca

Note the two part surname. There is no hyphen nor should there be one. He has TWO surnames.

PROBLEM A recent update in Firefox introduced a single field for name under Settings > Privacy & Security > Saved Addresses which is used by Autofill to fill forms.

Our poet would enter "Federico García Lorca" under name. If he were then to purchase a plane ticket and rely on Firefox Autofill to fill in the details, Autofill -- in a very narrow anglophone view -- will interpret "García" as a middle name and suppress it.

As a result, the plane ticket will be issued to "Federico Lorca" who is not even the same person, and who may not even exist. Moreover, he may be denied boarding the plane or refused entry into the USA because the name on the ticket does not match any of his official documentation.

I have had to disable Autofill for this reason.

SOLUTION A proposed solution is to do like Edge does: Have separate Name and Surname fields the user can specify.

Thank you.

I have two mac computers with the same version of Firefox. (135.0) Autofill stopped working on both of them and they are not synced to each other. What to do to get autofill working again?

Thank you, Martha

i restarted my pc (windows 10 22H2) are when i opened firefox again it had logged out of EVERY account of EVERY website i use: all my 3 google accounts, my 2 twitter accounts, instagram, github, itchio, EVERTHING at least my passwords are still saved, but having to login everything is a fucking hastle, every site nowadays ask for 2 step verifications and having to do that again when i just need to work is really anoying yes a have already tried restarting my pc and the browser again, but the logins are still gone, is there a way to revert this?

I formatted my PC recently, but since then, your browser does not play sound on other websites apart from youtube.com. I thought that my PC was faulty so I reinstalled Windows 10, still no sound.. Please help

For whatever reason Firefox decided it would save the redacted version of my bank ID.

Let's say my bank ID is 1234-ABCD. It has saved ******CD.

This requires me to delete it every time before accessing my account, which might be fine if selecting it then pressing delete didn't result in it re-autofilling, by the looks of things, or just ignoring the delete request.

I've deleted the erroneous entry from autofill, this has not solved the issue, and I have tried clearing that website in particular's cache; yet I'm greeted every time by the redacted version of the ID sitting in the text box, still requiring me to remove it twice before I can fill in the correct details without even having it saved in autofill.

I don't know what else to do. Any ideas?

Hi. Populating stored credit card data used to be working fine, but has stopped working on my desktop PC several moths ago (at least). When I click on one of the stored credit cards on a payment page, nothing gets populated in the fields. That happens with all stored cards. On my laptop PC that has a fingerprint sensor the populating of credit card data still works, but now I'm being asked for a fingerprint. Before I didn't need to provide my fingerprint to use the stored credit card data. I assume by the different behaviors of the desktop and laptop machines that at some point some "security feature" has been added to Firefox that broke usage of the stored credit card data on my desktop PC. What is that and how can I disable it?

Adjusting the volume of any sound or video player in Firefox also affects the browser's overall volume in the operating system, making it difficult to raise the volume without a sudden increase in volume. I've set 'media.volume_scale' to 0.1 as a temporary fix, but adjusting it frequently is a hassle. I've tested this on my laptop with Linux Mint, and the issue is there as well. A user on Discord referred to this as intended behaviour, but I find it inconsistent and impractical for Firefox to be the only software that behaves this way and would like to change it.

Here's an example.

Recently the autofill of my credit card details has stopped working. I have been into Settings, Privacy and Security and find that the boxes are ticked correctly. However, I also find that I cannot edit or add a credit card. Highlighting an existing card doesn't bring it up when I hit Edit and after I have added a new credit card, it will not save. Somehow the whole feature has stopped working properly. Can anyone help please? Many thanks in advance.

on Sunday, Feb. 02, 2025, at about 20H15 PT, WSJ security monitor "zapped" Firefox browser audio player . While i was texting my son the security was challenged to listen to my keystrokes , from both my iPhone & laptop, while i had music from my speaker system in the background.

My iPhone & laptop "use" Firefox browser. Cannot get sound when i try to play online playlists.

Maybe reinstall Firefox browser on iPhone & PC laptop will correct the problem?

My YouTube videos are very choppy and keep buffering. This happens no matter what resolution I choose. My internet connection is fast according to speed tests I've run. I'm using the latest version of Firefox on a MacBook. I've tried clearing my browser cache and cookies, but that didn't help. Can you suggest solutions to fix this problem?

I have used Firefox as my primary browser for many years, and have always used autofill for my passwords, credit cards, and addresses. Suddenly, about two weeks ago, my credit card data stopped autofilling. When I go to Settings > Privacy & Security, there is nothing regarding autofill anywhere (or anywhere in any Settings). I have attached screenshots of my entire Provacy & Security page, as well as Settings searches for "autofill," "payment," and "credit card." Please help me figure this out ASAP, or I will have to switch to Safari as my primary browser, which I don't want to do. Thank you!

Hi,

I've noticed that Firefox is no longer performing all the functions of some website. For example, when I use the Kaiser payment website, everything works until I enter my payment info. When I use the CA DMV app, it stops working after I enter the my username, password, and security code. In all cases, the website returns to the Login or Enter-Data screen. There are no error codes, just an endless loop of attempts to login or pay.

Firefox used to work on all of these websites. This error started happening on the prior-to-last update - currently on 135.0. It started happening before I updated my MacBook Pro to Sequoia 15.3. Still, the same thing happens on my Windows 10 HP laptop at work.

I am able to get full functionality on these websites when I use the Chrome browser. But, I like Firefox's functionality and security better! :-(
