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

Steps to reproduce:

Composed a new message and used the autocomplete functionality.

Actual results:

Autcompleted addresses appeared from other accounts.

Expected results:

Autocomplete data should be account specific and stored it the account's data directory.

Component: Untriaged → Security
Summary: Autocomplete data should be account specific and stored it the account's data directory. → Autocomplete data should be account specific and stored in the account's data directory.
Component: Security → Address Book

Doesn't autocomplete use the addresses from All Address Books?

Why would I want accounts for all my correspondents on my computer, or is this for other accounts the user may have, like the five I use?

How would I address one of my other accounts from the account I am composing in if I wanted to send a test email?

Yes, it currently uses addresses from All Address Books but this enhancement is for account specific autocomplete. For example, there's no reason to be autocompleting addresses between a personal account and a business, school, or work account.

The five accounts that you already use are stored on your computer and any per account function should store it’s data in the related account’s data directory.

You'd manually type in the address of one of your other accounts and it would autocomplete the next time.

Thanks for the clarification. This is essentially bug 594401
