Forms autocomplete not working even though autocomplete attribute(autofill field tokens) is provided.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a basic form with an input element for email 2. Add autocomplete attribute with value "email" and name attribute with some random value (not email). 3. When filling this form, autocomplete doesn't work(no previously used values of emails are listed).
Actual results:
No previously filled values of email are listed even though we have provided autocomplete attribute as email.
Expected results:
Previously used values of emails should have been listed as we have provided the autocomplete attribute as email.

What are you using? Firefox auto-fill, an add-on . . . . . . .
You would be better of with a form filling add-on.
Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for what you want.
I am not using add on. But in the documentation of autocomplete nothing regarding add on is mentioned : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input . Does mozilla not support autocomplete attribute without add on?
The built-in form filler is not that handy. Sometimes it's a pain. It only works on pages you worked on before. But that information can be deleted.
A form filler can work on any web page. It works by this; In any form, each input box has a name. The form filler 'reads' the name and places the recorded entry automatically. It can also be adjusted to fill in data based on the website.
So it only picks the value by name attribute and not by autocomplete attribute? So what is the use of autocomplete attribute(email,name) as mentioned in the doc : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input
