I have a question about form autofill. When I fill out a form at a website, does firefox remember the information only for that website? In chrome, once you have filled out a form on one website, chrome remembers the information for all websites after that. so, you only have to fill out one form. For me, a huge advantage.

Hi
I use form autofill in Firefox myself and can confirm that if you use it for one form, it will make the information available to use in other forms with fields of the same names.
I've been using Firefox for at least 15 years and I've never seen form autofill work, and it doesn't work for me now either. I finally went to chrome because it works great. I thought that with this new version, they fixed it, but no. Unless I'm doing something wrong. I can go to, options/privacy and security, and I see the word forms, but nothing else. No way to see where firefox stores the form information, like you can in chrome. I filled out one form but when I tried to fill in another, there was no reaction.
A new built-in "auto form fill" is just starting to be introduced into Firefox. With Fx 57 only 20% of all users get it automatically, to "test". Over the next two release versions additional users will have it automatically available.
You can enable that new feature yourself. In about:config double-click this preference to toggle it to true and then restart Firefox. dom.forms.autocomplete.formautofill = false when it is off
Thanks, I made that change. Now we"ll see.
