This issue is caused by the incorrect detection of `address-line2`. The regexp of address-line* should be able to recognize the correct address lines.

The patch attachment 8940498 [details] in bug 1423204 can fix the heuristics issue in this bug, but another issue is about previewing and filling. I have to look why not all fields can be previewed or filled.

[Sean Lee [:seanlee][:weilonge]]

The preview and filling issue in Profile and Preferences are caused by the inputs with the value as its placeholder, and previewing or filling feature will skip the inputs with `element.value`.

BTW, Chrome gets worse experience since the placeholder won't be clear when I click on an input.

Per comment 4, this bug is caused because the website falsely uses `element.value` as placeholders. Since Form Autofill by design won't fill any input containing a value already, this bug can't be fixed eventually. Therefore, close this bug as WONTFIX.
