1048759 - Since V31 name field in webforms needs to be completed manually, dropdown from previous use no longer working

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(WebExtensions :: General, defect, P4)

Description

[Ian Blakeley]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140716183446

Steps to reproduce:

Web sign in on several sites, across several PC (mixture of W7 and XP) presented with a list of previously used names but clicking on the one required and nothing happens (autofill expected)


Actual results:

dropdown shows list of previously used/suggested values. In the case I see, these are userid for different sites, left click with mouse and field is blank, cursor has moved to next field. It's necessary to manually fill in the details again.

Worked in previous version up until V31


Expected results:

name value clicked should have auto filled and then cursor moved to next box

If you restart in safe mode (Help > Restart with add-ons disabled), can you still reproduce it?

(I heavily rely on autofill, and it's continued to work fine for me and many others, so we need to figure out what's different on your copy of Firefox...)

It's working in safe mode and after working through various extensions the culprit is

Hrm. Could it be that with this add-on disabled, another add-on is also disabled? That's kind of the point of the add-on... I would be surprised if it, by itself, interfered with autocomplete results on a webpage...

Password manager I think. Then I removed that and reenabled checkcompatibility still okay

Excellent. Is that this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/remember-passwords/ or another one?

Yep, that's the one

There's already a compatibility override in place for this add-on.
