Steps to reproduce:
I don’t think my accounts are secure on my 15.6” full HD Dell Inspiron 7558 by just clicking on my user names to the right of a key. The master password helps, but I’d like more ways to customize my Firefox experience in general. This would be a great option for people who are deeply concerned with password theft and identity fraud!
Actual results:
See above.
Expected results:

Bug 1174327 is just a UI toggle for signon.autofillForms. It still shows logins when double-clicking username fields or typing the first letter. It looks to me like this requests only filling out the password once the username has been typed in full.

The summary is about autofill so that's how I triaged it.
It looks to me like this requests only filling out the password once the username has been typed in full.
That's the behaviour when that pref is false.

I double-checked in Nightly in case the behavior changed, and no, it isn't. Simply clicking the "Log in" link here on Bugzilla shows the saved login in the dropdown, because the Email field is automatically focused. And I said above, clicking in the username field or typing in only the first letter shows that dropdown otherwise. That's not the same as having to type the username in full.

Showing the dropdown is different than "filling out the password" which is what you said.

Clicking on the username field pops up the username (if it doesn't just happen on page load), then clicking on the username fills out the password, which is not the same as having to type the whole username for that to happen.

I don’t think my accounts are secure […] by just clicking on my user names to the right of a key.
Bug 1174327 does nothing to address this.
