Culprit: Evan Tseng — Bug 1365133 - Reorganize Preferences sections and regroup <xul:groupbox> elements by new categories - Part 1. r=jaws

For 'Enable Profile Autofill' I could not determine a regression since the option was enabled and disabled on different consecutive builds. I assume it was the same since forever.

Forgot to mention that the options from Sync Settings (after logging into Firefox Account) have the same issue. Those did not have this feature after bug 1330121 though.

Hi Bogdan,

Thank you for filing the bug. I've patched to fix it.

For "Enable Profile Autofill" checkbox, we cannot fix here because it is inserted by a system add-on (autofill). We will fix it at Bug 1382954. Additionally, we already have the issue for Firefox Account checkboxes in current nightly. For sure, let's fix it here.

Him,
I tried to verify this bug on Nightly 57 but I couldn't find "Enable Profile Autofill" checkbox.
Is there another name for this checkbox or the checkbox doesn't exist anymore?

'Enable Profile Autofill' has actually changed to 'Autofill addresses' in Fx 57 by the looks of it.
