I tried to switch to Firefox, but I fill out a lot of forms, and it doesn’t have autofill for them. It makes it very slow and frustrating. I’ve searched for solutions to activate it, add ons for it, etc to no avail. It seems that function may only be available in the US? It’s strange to have such a basic feature missing.
I basically switch to firefox until something I need doesn’t work, then I go back to chrome until they do something scummy. I’m back on firefox now and the experience is better than previously. I will probably stay and keep Chrome for “just in case” stuff or when I want a browser with no privacy/adblock extensions.
Firefox cannot autofill forms outside login credentials last i knew. That’s not a feature in it. So details like addresses and credit card info are not auto filled.
Thank you for all your efforts! Unfortunately, I have already looked at the support posts, they refer to settings that aren’t present in my version of Firefox. The add-ons all tell me they aren’t suitable for Android. When I go to the section thay say they are for Android, nothing comes up when I search autofill.
I should’ve mentioned it in the original comment, that’s my bad. I was mostly venting lol. Sounds like it’ll be sorted shortly, hopefully before Chrome gets too painful to use.

Firefox absolutely can auto fill!
Well, it would appear the Android version can’t, at least not in Australia.
a bunch of password managers (i.e. 1password) do this for you
I’ll look into it. Thanks!
I haven’t noticed this myself. Did you look inside settings?
Very thoroughly, there’s settings for autofilling passwords, but not forms.

Well, that sucks. I guess I’m stuck with Chrome for now then. Thanks for the info.

Ah, you’re on Android! In a few months, Firefox on Android will support all extensions. You should be able to use them then.
Nice, thanks for the info!
I didn’t catch you were in android. I think there has been some movement this month to make add-ons now accessible on Firefox Android.
