Bug 589628 is fixing this for autocomplete… Bug 1120684 is the solution for autofill but that isn't on the roadmap anytime soon.

Hi,

Following the steps, I have managed to reproduce this issue on latest FF release (66.0.3), latest Nightly build (68.0a1 (2019-04-29)) using Windows10.
But if access ro-ro.facebook.com first, enter and save credentials, then go to www.facebook.com credentials are auto-filled.

I attach the logs here for both situations.

I don't think the initial dupe was good for this case, since this is about subdomain/etld+1 support, which meanwhile has been implemented and shipped, removing the dupe and marking WFM as this was fixed by bug 1563330 and bug 589628

Reverting the changes done in comment 5, this is about autofill and not autocomplete, as I've missread.
