RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1344657

People

(Reporter: fabianbakkum, Unassigned)

Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:78.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/78.0

Steps to reproduce:

I have a single website I wish to use the autofill option for. So I disabled the "Ask to save passwords and logins for websites" after I saved the login information, because I don't want to be asked anymore, but this disables the "Autofill logins and passwords", "Suggest and generate strong passwords" and "Show alerts for breached websites" options.

Actual results:

It's currently not possible to use autofill whilst having the "Ask to save passwords and logins for websites" option disabled.

Expected results:

"Ask to save passwords and logins for websites" option should not influence whether it is allowed to have autofill enabled, nor the "Show alerts about breached websites" option.
