Auto Complete Not Working

Information is not retained by the browser and does not comeup automatically. Tried https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-doesnt-save-web-form-entries, it did not work out.

Then saw a comment some where to modify - Browser.urlbar.default.behavior- by making an entry of 33. But in Config this entry is not there, so can not do this.

This is working on other websites but not on a specific website. The owner of that website was contacted and he demonstrated that it was working in Mozilla on other machines.

Please help

Browser.urlbar.default.behavior is incorrect syntax for about:config prefs. And browser.urlbar.default.behavior isn't a valid pref in recent versions of Firefox. browser.urlbar.matchBehavior is the closest pref name that I can see that has "urlbar" and "behavior".

If you are looking to do "auto fill" / "auto complete" on a website a urlbar preference shouldn't have an impact. But we really need more context to what that website does to try to help you. Please provide more information, especially the type of data that is saved in Firefox that you want to "Auto Complete". And the URL for the website might help for us to check it out first hand, as long as login credentials aren't needed to access where you are having that issue.
