Good evening,

ever since the latest update (and the version before it) I've encountered a problem with pasting saved user names and passwords into the login brackets.

Expected behaviour: A website is loaded; the website is a login page for which I have saved user data. For the login id and password bracket each Firefox suggests the information via dropdown menu. I choose the specific data set, after which the brackets are filled automatically by the app.

Encountered behaviour: I choose the specific data set, but the information is not filled into the brackets. The user data has to be entered manually for each bracket.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Kind regards, Il_Bolognese

Hi

Are these user credentials saved in Firefox for Android or are you using an external credential manager application on your Android device?

Hello Sir,

these are user credentials saved in Firefox (for Android) which are synchronised thanks to my Firefox account. I do not use any external application on my mobile phone and no external manager on my computer.


Kind regards, Il_Bolognese

Thank you.

It appears that this is something that our developers are aware of and are looking into. You can follow progress on this and add comments at:

Hello Sir,

Thank you for the quick response. Since the developers are already aware of the issue, I can rest easy. As of now I'm using FairMail for the immediate access, but would be glad to return to my usual pattern of using the browser as an entry point without the hassle of an extra application.


Kind regards, Il_Bolognese
