Autofill is a small but powerful add-on for Mozilla Firefox that serves one purpose: fill form fields automatically on page load. It is for people who just want a straightforward form filler without all the bells and whistles.

Hi Tom #2

Firefox 55 killed "autofill".. that you abandoned long time ago on firefox.

You proposed anyone who wanted to keep developing it but noone ever took the time to do it. since it's your addon, & you know it well, it would be great if you could at least make it compatible, so i could install it in ff 55 & use all actual functions as limited as they are.

I got rid of pale moon & moved back to a stable firefox release. That addon was already fixed for minor issues by one of mozilla addons contributors who didn't want to pursue updates.

In 3.6, there was a warning window popping up like a bug all the time

But here are the major actual issues (excluding update requests i've made & noone considered):

Ps: i'm not a fan of "autofill forms" architecture & i don't aim to use it.

On ff55,

When i right click on a page & in autofill, i select Add rule for this form, with open options ticked & in the drop down menu, i select new & create a new rule name, it doesn't open the preferences window. & i can't create new rule names either.

I tried adding the old preferences data concerning this addon in the new preferences of firefox, & it doesnt load my rules into its preference interface.

I've put the modified xpi version in a zip file: http://matrixjo.com/upload/store/firefox-autofill-mod1.zip

@xevidencex I plan to port the Chrome version over to Firefox, which has way more features anyway. Sorry, I cannot promise any timeline at the moment.
