When I switched from Internet Explorer to Mozilla Firefox the one thing I missed was the Google Autofill function in the IE Google
Toolbar. None of the existing form related extensions did quite what I wanted so I decided to write my own. After alot of coercion I
convinced my colleague and friend, Jesper Kristensen, to write it with me. Our extension is a semi-faithful recreation of Google's
IE Autofill function in Mozilla Firefox
Features Include:
Creation of an unlimited number of user profiles
Automatically highlight all the fields in the current form that can be filled in
Manifests as an additional toolbar button that can be added to any existing toolbar (e.g. the Navigation Toolbar) (to save screen real estate)
TRUE support of RFC3106 (Google Autofill claims to support it, but actually doesn't)
To Dos (in no particular order):
Add Credit Card support
Add support for user defined custom attributes
Add support for label to form field name mapping
Add documentation and help function to the preference dialog
Localization of Preferences Dialog, etc.
Known Bugs:
The drop-down menu (but not the context or popup menu) doesn't check the currently selected profile (though it does actually select the one clicked)
On initial install the toolbar button is a menu button, even though there are no profiles
If a form is loaded, then another tab without a form is switched to, when the user switched back to the form, the button doesn't reenable
