If there are multiple names stored for an input field then Firefox won't autofill an entry and you need to select one from the drop-down list.

Do you mean that you can't select each name that show in the drop-down list that shows in the screenshot?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox menu button/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox menu button/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
