Great job guys. I was looking for something like this.

Now, I think that for your next revision you need to decrease the size of the pencil icon just a little bit. It seems to be a tad bigger than the rest of the icons in the default FF theme.

This is a great extension! I don't understand how it works, but it doesn't seem to function on some sites. I was playing around with it a bit, at some sites like it doesn't offer to fill anything; other sites won't fill the street address (because it doesn't recognize it as being an address?)
But this is a great start, thanks!

Hank, the extension key of field names in the forms to figure out what to fill out. It supports the standard field names as defined in the eCommerce standard (RFC3106) and then some. We will in a later version add logic that also uses the text or label, that most often is placed in front of an input field, to figure out what the use of the input field is.

The dialog that pops up will allow you to enter your details. The toolbar button only enables on a page with a fields that autofill recognizes to give you a visual indication. Hope that helps.

I took a look at the form, CuriousG, the issue is the names of the fields in that form suck (for instance, the source address name is "1a"). The current version of Autofill only recognizes form field names. The next version of Autofill will include text/label to field mappings which should help these kind of situations alot.

When credit card support is added, it will definately be password protected as well as encrypted. I've spent the weekend looking for javascript encryption libraries and thinking about the best way to make sure that the security can't be by passed (e.g. through about:config). Those concerns are the reason it wasn't put into 0.1. I didn't want to add it until I was sure that it couldn't be compromised.

Zaunseder, At the moment Autofill only works with Firefox. From your browser string, it looks like you are running Mozilla.

Boomeranger, Jesper and I both use Noia theme which does shrink the icon on mouseover. We'll consider how we could make that behaviour optional if it bothers people.

This would be great, if only you would accept that no one uses standard name attributes, and usually people don't even get very close. My main suggestion is to start using 'VERY' flexible regular expressions. I'd rather it mess up and put my email address in the street address field when compared to completely failing to see things like a first name field. *fname*,*firstname*,*first*name*, etc. This just needs to be MUCH more flexible. About 2/3 of the forms (yahoo, dell, etc) I try it on don't work. Yes, they are partially to blame. But, lets all admit it’s a pretty weak standard, if even really a 'standard' at all. And maybe I haven't looked hard enough, but where is the source?

[26] Submitted by: tnorris on Monday 26th July 2004 at 22:28 -0400

Sam, all good points. We are headed that direction. We are considering a number of options. What we currently plan for 0.2, is label to field mapping. This way any field that contains "last name" as it's label we will recognize as last name, as long as it doesn't match on the field name first. Further, we are talking about a couple of "learning" options for the fields so that each user's install could optimize for the forms they tend to use. We've also talked about doing the regexp field definitions. That's not quite as simple as it sounds though because it's entirely possible that one field name could match on more than one regular expresion, which causes confusion. We're also considering the capability to definite custom form field names. Be assured that we know there are definite gaps but also keep in mind this is version 0.1, not version 1.0.

On the source question, it's not currently on mozdev's CVS server, but you can easily extract it from the xpi just by opening it in winzip.

I appreciate your input.

quiet1, you need to drag the toolbar button from the customize toolbar palette to the toolbar on first install.

Note, some form fields won't be recognized, but I certainly haven't found 10 forms in a row where that's true. Try using the Test Page above to see if it highlights and fills in. If not, either you haven't added a profile, or something else is wrong.

I personally put it on the Navigation Bar right next to the address field.

The support of RFC3106 is only available in English so the support of other language is compromised. Is the other release support keywords list for all fill in form ?

RFC3106 is not support now by google and there isn't a lot of site who use this norm.

The idea is great ! i want to translate this extension when she works with keywords ;-)

[34] Submitted by: tnorris on Friday 30th July 2004 at 10:18 -0400

Thanks for the feedback, ersplus. I was just thinking about this the other night. First, today we already support more than RFC3106 and the way the extension is written we can easily extend it to new field form names as necessary (including in French). When we add the capability to map form labels to field names, localization is going to be even more important. At the moment, we don't plan to make the next release allow form names and labels customizable, but we do plan to do that at some point.

I'll keep you in mind for translation. I think we have most languages covered through friends, but I'm not sure we know anyone who speaks french.

Grace, you've added the profile incorrectly in the options. There's a bug in 0.1 that enables the fields when you hit add profile even if you don't type a profile name. That's fixed in the next version. To make sure it saves your details, type a profile name in the textbox next to the "add profile" button and click add profile.

Amir, It certainly doesn't work on some forms, but I think the 70-80% number is high. Future versions will recognize more fields.

Let me raise my hand to add my voice to the "ICON TOO BIG !!!" thread. It just breaks my toolbars : either I put it on its own toolbar, but it makes one toolbar bigger than all the other, or I put it to, say, the navigation toolbar, and all my other icons seem to float in a toolbar way too wide for them.

I think it would be fine to make it fit into a [p/w]instripe theme on a 1024 or 800 screen before going elsewhere (ethical view : don't expect the user to have the same settings than yours, you are not IE devellopers :)

I used the about:config to fill in the zip and it "stuck". It now also appears in the Tools > Autofill pulldown and works in your test page. As far as what I was doing.

1. Opened the Tools > Autofill pulldown
2. I Only have one profile
3. The "Automatically highlight ..." is checked.
4. The "Use my primary address as ..." is checked
5. The following fields have entries (rest are blank): First Name, Last Name, Email Address, Phone Number, Line 1, City, State/Province, Zip/Postal Code and Country.
6. Click on the "OK" button.
7. Opened the Tools > Autofill pulldown
8. Zip/Postal Code is empty

Note: Now that I have entered the Zip/Postal Code via the about:config screen, I CAN NOT edit it in the Tools > Autofill pulldown.

I'll send you the autofill preferences via email.

I just lurve this autofill extension! Thanks!

I asked the local municipal government (KIngston, Ontario, Canada) to change the field names on their online parking ticket payment form to conform to RFC3106 so autofill would work better. Here's what they said:

The City of Kingston’s online payment service does not conform to RFC 3106 (using standard names for form fields) for the following reasons:
§ The proposal outlined in RFC 3106 is a "proposal" for ECML v1.1. It does not describe a "standard."
§ ECML is not in wide use.
§ ECML 1.1 proposed a naming convention for HTML form fields with the primary goal of allowing technology like "electronic wallets" to perform better with a variety of Web sites (a sort of single sign-on and fill-out approach to these kinds of things). Very few Internet users have shown interest in "electronic wallet" technology (for example, large e-commerce companies such as Amazon, Chapters, and eBay).

I trust this information addresses your request.

Thanks for the offer, but you need to enter a valid parking ticket number before you get to the stage where you can fill in the payment form. So we'll have to wait until one of us gets a parking ticket in Kingston before we can find out what the fields are called! I'll post again when I find out.

1) you relly need to test on 800x600 screen resolution & a two high Windows QuickLaunch/TaskBar/SystemTray; there is no blue information bar at the top (as in the screen shots),
2)Icon way too large! Increases the 'padding' of the MenuBar on an AviaryBranch 20040816-12 0.9.1+ installation; this particular version has the thinnest Menu Bar I have yet to see on a 0.9+ installation (I have installed 20+ different versions in the last 2 1/2 months).

Alan, I suspect the problem is you haven't typed a profile name. Read User Note #38 above...If that doesn't work, do you have a comma or a period in the profile name? That's caused problems in the past as well...

Thanks tnorris... managed to figure it out. Problem is that I just kept filling out fields without clicking Add Profile... fields should be gray first... then clicking Add Profile exposes them.

carp! it never never never worked. and when i read this forum on how to add the autofill button to the toolbar, it works wonders. do i have to read the forums to get these extensions working? i got it working 45 days after installing it.

Good job! I was missing the google toolbar but this made up for it. Please update soon.

Great extension ! But there is still some small issues:

In my profile, I have only one address line. But when I test it in the test page, the address was inputted twice with address repeated in the address line 3, if there is one.

[59] Submitted by: tnorris on Thursday 26th August 2004 at 22:28 -0400

Yep, this is known behaviour because autofill see's the "Address" label and "guesses" that it's part of an address. Then since it only has two lines, and it sees it's not "Address Line 2" it assumes it must be address line 1. We are still deciding what to do about those kind of issues.

Great extension! Thanks for the hard work you put into this. I am particularly impressed with the way you respond to users comments/issues on this site.

One suggestion for a small feature that I think would be helpful: could you provide an option to rename a profile?

Keep up the good work.

Thanks, Chris. I think we are going to add something like that. We were just talking the other day about a duplicate profile function. Rename is really just a duplicate followed by a delete.

Nbot, If FF isn't popping up the install dialog, it's probably because you've got "Allow Websites to install software" unchecked in the FF options.
There are two ways to fix this.

1. In FF go to File->Open File and open the xpi (note, open the xpi,not the jar inside the xpi) you already downloaded. This should popup the install dialog. then just click install.
2. Go to the FF Options (Tools->Options), under "Advanced" scroll down until you see "Allow Websites to install software". Check this box. Then go back and click on the "Install Now" link on update.mozilla.org, or click on the Autofill V0.2 link on the install page on the autofill homepage.

If that doesn't work, drop me an email to discuss further.

Great product! Much faster than tabbing between fields to get the information entered!

One quick comment:

Would it be possible/likely that highlighting would show only what you've filled out in the options page? So, for instance, if you don't have a line 2 filled in for your profile, then it would not highlight.

Strange. I was able to install this extension when loged in as my wife (Win XP), but when I log in on mine, I can not. I've tried shutting down every other software or service that I can think of the would interfere in the download. But everytime I try to download this XPI I get the Firefox download error---whether from Mozilla Updates, or this website. This happens with several other extensions as well. Some of which will not download no matter who I am logged in as. I have been able to have the developers e-mail me the XPIs for some Thunderbird extensions, and was able to install them that way, but that doesn't work w/ Firefox, because their is no "install" button on the extension manager and can figure out how to have Firefox install an extension saved to my hard drive.

Any thoughts?

Paul, UMO is overloaded with the release of 1.0PR. That could be why you are having problems downloading. The reason the installs could be failing is that the profiles are stored in the current user's appdata directory. Your id may not have write access to your wife's profile. You might try creating a new profile from your userid and seeing what happens (type "firefox -p" to bing up the profile manager). I can't be 100% certain because I'm the only one that uses my laptop, so I've never tried to install an extension from another userid. As to your other problem, if you first download the xpi (right click->save link as), then drag and drop the locally stored xpi into the extension manager window, firefox will try to install it. Drop me an email if you are still having problems. My email address is on the members page.

Maybe I'm a moron, but I can't get this to work. I'm on a Mac G4 using OS X, but I've already noticed others using Macs running this here. In sum, I've already configured the extension (Tools, Options, created my only profile and saved that, filled out form fields, enabled auto-fill, clicked to save, etc.). I also put the pencil on the toolbar, but clicking that does nothing (yes, on pages with a form). I'm sure I'm missing the most obvious thing. Can somebody bail me out? Signed, Clueless in Utah

SOLUTION. Very strange. (I've been playing with this for an hour without success. Of course, as luck would have it, I would find the solution just minutes after posting here.) In any event, moving the pencil icon to the smaller bookmarks menubar enabled everything. Perhaps this is conflicting with some other extension I'm running (and I'm running quite a few), but moving the icon did the trick. I'm reminded of my earliest Mac days in the late 1980s when I installed so many extensions (very USEFUL things that made the trash spin, etc.), and then I would find that I'd broken the things that really mattered somehow. I'll try to do some troubleshooting to pin down the apparent conflict. Thanks for a great extension and for your patience. Perhaps my serendipitous solution here will help someone else inadvertently as well.

I was looking forward to using this extension, but it was a disappointment compared to the autofill on the IE google toolbar. I find taht this one filled in about 10 percent (average) of fields compared to the 80 percent (average) I was enjoying when using IE. Hopefully your future revisions will increase this.
That said, I appreciate you're doing this for nothing and don't want to be ungrateful. Keep up the good work!

Hope this wasn't mentioned yet, but what about letting the user define alias names for fields to make the detection better? Additionally that would let us create our own field-filling rules.

If AutoFill tries guessing what to enter in what field by taking a look on the field names in the form (like "name" or "surname"), what I assume here, it depends on the most visited forms and hence is user-specific, what to look for and what to enter.

If the detection alogrithm is way different from what I think, drop this idea. :-)

May I add to previous comments about flexibility. The only problem with Autofill 0.2 is that there are obviously huge numbers of non-standard sites around, as the program makes some of the strangest "errors" when filling in the fields. It's almost normal for it to put my whole name in the first name field. When I used IE6 and the Google toolbar it filled in most forms more or less correctly - so far, Autofill gets more fields wrong than right, limiting it's use somewhat.

Just tried re-installing 0.2 from the installation page here, and it worked on my FF 1.0 after trying twice. Strange that I had to install it twice (it said it was incompatible with 1.0 the first time, but I tried it again a second time and it worked without a problem).

Noticed a problem on the "test page" of this website, where my Line 1 address pasted into the Line 1 AND Line 3 of the eCommerce fields. This isn't a major issue, but since you don't allow for a Line 3 in the Preferences dialog box, I imagine that it just uses what it has and guesses. What do you think?

People need to READ this page before posting messages. The latest version of AutoFill works with FF 1.0PR, 1.0RC1, and probably RC2 as well.

*IF* for some reason it does not work for someone, there are two things you can do: One is to put about:config in the address bar, then search for app.extension.version or app.version.extension (I forget which), and change that 1.0 to .10, or it may be the other way around but I think that's correct.

The other is to unpack the xpi extension (change .xpi to .zip) and unzip, then open the install.rdf file in Notepad and look around for something like "max version", then change those instances to 1.0, save the file, then zip/pack it back up using the .xpi extension INSTEAD OF .zip .

Larry, the autofill preferences are stored as part of the FF preferences. So, if you can find a way to syncronize your FF preferences, that should also syncronize your autofill prefs. The most obvious way I can think to do it is to store your profile on a network drive.

Hi Tracy, once again, great extension. I see that you stated back in November (YES, I actually searched and READ the previous posts! lol) that the State/State Abbreviation differentiation "lacks the capability right now to map between the two (name and abbreviations)." Any actual plans to implement this feature as so many websites vary from one to the other? I would think that this would be a fairly high priority item. It is my only real issue on what has otherwise been a great tool, especially considering it's free (people complain way too much about free stuff don't they?! hehe)! :)

I love AutoFill. Thanks for the great extension. One thought that I had a while back when I was using the google toolbar on IE (a long, long time ago... don't worry I'm a FF fanatic now), is that it would be nice to optionally see a list of fields that AutoFill would populate on a page, and then allow you to toggle on/off by field if you want AutoFill to populate the data. In this fashion you could feel a bit safer that AutoFill is not populating a malicious hidden field on a page without your knowledge. Just a thought... and thanks again! Eric

I guess we should expect newcomers to the open source concept to have a bit of a learning curve while they figure out how it all works. For me polite and constructive criticism is useful and moves things forward, and reading back thru this archive, reading earlier posts might save some folks asking the same questions over and get them where they want to be faster.

Also, the one form I tried ( didn't actually fill in the details from my AutoFill profile, while Google Toolbar in IE does.

Guest, I think you are mistaken. The ip address you named resolves to top25cigar.com. Did you happen to be reading about cigars in another tab at the time? Or, have you been using IE lately and possibly have spyware installed? Either way, autofill's source code is easily extractable from the install xpi and you can examine it if you wish. Your personal information is only stored locally and the credit card information is encrypted before it's stored.

As a side note, pressing OK wouldn't cause anything to happen. Nothing happens till you add the toolbar button to the toolbar, go to page w/ a form, and then click the button.

Lastly, you should be sure of what you say before spreading FUD...

Taiwan is not a province of China. Taiwan is Taiwan, an independent political entity. Please correct the item "Taiwan, Province of China" in "Country". Thanks!

Tenz, while I sympathize with your concern Autofill uses the ISO 3166 standards for country codes and names. In that standard, Taiwan is reflected as you quote. If you want it changed, you'll have to get ISO to agree to change first. Until then, it stays as is.

Just installed the extension and tried it in Intuit / Quicken website using it to fill in"Billing Address and Payment Info..." form. The 1st click worked well filling in most data- missing phone #and zip code. I canceled and clicked again gettin a mess - it filled in most slots with part of my street # and only city, state & street # were correct. This would be a high use site- so i'm not sure if i have the correct install here. Any comments? I'm using the latest Firefox ver 1.

Generally this works great. It is less reliable in terms of matching info to fields than roboform, but because it integrates so much better I use it anyway. One thing I think you should add to your todo list is to add plus4 info to the zipcode, since some forms ask for that, and autofill just puts my regular zip in both the zip and plus4 fields.

How about blending autofill and clipboard functions so that we'd have the ability to paste pre-created "autotext" at the click of a button. And, it would be generic, not tied to any particular textbox. For example, you have a long tracking number from UPS. If you could drag the text (just as you can drag links)and make a button out of it, and name it "UPS" that would be incredible! I apologize if this goes beyond the scope of what autofill is about. I'm just some dork who likes Firefox and Mozilla 1.6.

Just noticed that Autofill is completely incompatible with QVC.com's fields. I'm not sure, but it may be because it's a secure page? Here's an example where it doesn't work:

Not sure if this is something fixable. But it's the only major site at which I've seen Autofill not work at all.

What do you think?

Great extension! Thanks!
I'd like to see the ability to fill in individual fields, say by a context-menu opition.

Sometimes forms come in pre-filled with existing information, and using the autofill actually overwrites information in some fields I'd like to keep. The ability to selectively fill fields would be great in these cases.

It might be more useful to the developers if you actually explained what your concerns/issues are rather than just ranting/raving without letting them know why.

They can't improve the program...if it needs improving...unless they know what the problems are.

In order to completely give up IE with no regrets, it would be great to have autofill work more like IE's because that is actually very good, logical, and versatile. (autocomplete options as well as forms autofill "master") I find drop-downs of options to be really annoying, unless they are user-defined options that are subordinate to a "prime choice" defined in an autofill profile. They're especially annoying when they remember previous entries that were unintentionally incorrect. (Is there a way to selectively delete such remembered entries?) It's more efficient to have the field autofill (WITHOUT needing to select from a dropdown), then have other options (if any) in a dropdown.

Please add these field names. This is from a large site (tucows and opensrs) that I use all the time. I'm surprised that some of their fields aren't working with your extension. They work fine
