Re: MoDumb question
Does Mozilla have anything like IE's auto-form-fill capability?
“Tools” > “Form Manager”.
Bug 48860: “As far as I'm concerned, we may
as well have no autofill methods at all, because they’re so hard to use and figure out that it might just be easier to type in your form information and move on.” (Many parts of that bug have been fixed, but two of the most important details — double-clicking on a field or typing a few characters to get a list of possible entries — have not.)
mozilla/browser README: “This project is a redesign of the Mozilla browser component … All wallet-like functionality will be rewritten from scratch.” (Wallet is the code in Mozilla which does form filling.)
Chimera mailing list: “At this time, form autofill and ‘smart forms’ features are out for Chimera 1.0. My main problem here is that the back end code that does this
in Mozilla is appalling, and it will not be used. If someone wants to
volunteer to engineer this, it would need to be done from scratch.”
