How do I get form data sorted properly. I have already done the browser.formfill.bucketsize = 999999999. However it still sorts "joed571@hotmail.com" and "joed572@hotmail.com" ahead of "joed57@hotmail.com".

You can try to do the sorting with the SQLite Manager extension.

  1. Open formhistory.sqlite (you may need to do this on a copy of the file)
  2. Hit the Execute SQL tab
  3. Drop the existing moz_formhistory_index and create a new moz_formhistory_index
drop index "main"."moz_formhistory_index";
CREATE INDEX moz_formhistory_index ON moz_formhistory (fieldname,value);

Use this for case insensitive sorting:

CREATE INDEX moz_formhistory_index ON moz_formhistory (fieldname,value COLLATE NOCASE);

Where do I find formhistory.sqlite?

Never mind I found it. But I don't understand what I am supposed to do with it. I need an exact step by step instruction.

That is a file in the Firefox Profile Folder. SQLite Manager has a button (Select Profile Database) to open files in the Firefox Profile Folder.
