The Password Manager can autofill usernames and passwords. Form filling add-ons can do much more. Filling in name, address, zip . . . . . . .

This saves a lot of typing.


Open the Password Manager. Is the information there?

Type about:preferences#security<enter> in the address bar.

Under Logins, Turn on Remember Logins To check the passwords you have listed, press Saved Logins.

It doesn't have Autofill downloaded.

It's not listed in your Extensions. Try reloading it from its web page.

Autofill can have different meanings. Do you mean logging you in on sites where you saved your password, or remembering entries you made in forms, or providing matches in the address bar as you type, or... ??

By autofill i mean it doesnt autofill username and password. Its blank. I click on example username and on some sites its listed correct username and for most of sites it have like 10 different usernames which i never used on that site. All i tried is to clean cache that doesnt help.

What you mean by extensions? I never had autofill in extensions and i dont have it now.
