Greetings, I just updated my iMac and Macbook to 63.0.3. While comparing the Privacy & Security settings in the Preferences on each computer, I noticed that my Macbook contains an option under Forms & Passwords to Autofill Addresses which is selected, but the same option does not exist in the Firefox preferences on my desktop computer. A search for the Autofill preference also comes up empty. Why is this?

Hi, "the same option does not exist in the Firefox preferences on my desktop computer" Which OS / version on the desktop?

I can't speak for Macs, but in Linux Firefox, there's "extensions.formautofill.addresses.enabled". I have it turned off. I assume you searched for it under about:config?

If it's not there, in about:config - R-click on a blank spot & select "New" and then "Boolean." Type in the pref - exactly. Then set it to true - if you want addresses to autofill.
