From reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/bv9e12/i_want_autofill_but_i_dont_want_all_addresses/epn2mf5/

I know I can remove them, but I don't want to have to remove 100s of addresses everyday. I don't want it to remember any addresses at all. I already manually entered my address in there, that's the only one I need.

User often enters addresses that they do not want saved (or autofilled), but Firefox saves these addresses.

It would be nice to add an option in preferences inset and below the existing autofill checkbox to "Add new addresses".

Unchecking this box and keeping the "Autofill addresses" checkbox enabled would allow the user to continue to autofill already saved addresses, but not save new ones.

If this box is checked, the behavior would be exactly as it is today.

This enhancement would allow users to keep autofill enabled without saving entries that they don't care about.
