143930 - Form manager feature doesn't work

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 60861

(Toolkit :: Form Manager, defect)

Description

[Jeffrey Souza]

Mac OSX 10.1.4  Forms do not get automatically filled out.  I manually entered
all my information in the preferences windows but the form manager appears to be
completely disfunctional. Form fields on all webpages I have tried require
manual data input.  This is enough of a reason for me not to use Mozilla, as it
is a great timesaver.  I'd rather not continue to use IE, but will have to if
this feature isn't activated.

OK, found out the feature works, but differently than I am used to.  The feature
requires the user to choose the "edit-fill in form" command.

Not as useful as automatic text in a field.  When I have to enter my e-mail ID I
would rather have it appear as I type the first couple of letters instead of
having to go to the edit menu.

I like having BOTH methods of form fill-in.  Large forms make the current
Mozilla method superior, but small forms like ID & password only forms make the
Internet Explorer auto text method superior.  Can you implement BOTH methods?  

Also, a KEYBOARD SHORTCUT for this function in addition to the above suggestion
would make Mozilla clearly superior to IE in this crucial feature.

You can auto-fill the single field by double-clicking on it.
