I might be mistaken, but since I started using my [e-mail] address, autocompletion of email addresses just stopped working. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a site with an email field
2. input .name address
3. return to that site later
Actual Results:  
my old addresses is still displayed

Expected Results:  
my new .name address would also be shown

I have the same issue, only with another kind of address.  Completion does not remember [e-mail], but it remembers [e-mail] and [e-mail].  I've got no idea what triggers it.

I'm running
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20061201 Firefox/2.0.0.11 (Ubuntu-feisty)

WFM - there's no parsing of input values, so the browser don't care what format an email address is.

I'd guess that you probably had a value previously saved, then the site added autocomplete=off to the page, and thus new values are no longer remembered.

If you have a reproducible testcase, then reopen.
