For the past few weeks, we've been working on requestAutocomplete, a proposed standard for HTML forms that streamlines the checkout flow for websites. Common payment and address form fields are shown in a popup UI native to the browser, so all sites using the API will share a common checkout experience, and previously submitted data can be reused across sites with no autofill guesswork. The main bug tracking this feature is bug 939351.
There is currently no formal standard. A link to Chrome's implementation: http://www.chromium.org/developers/using-requestautocomplete. Some discussion of the feature here: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!forum/requestautocomplete. The plan is for bug 939351 to implement the backend components (form form submission, validation, and storage). Each platform will require a separate component to implement its form UI. Right now, Android is the only platform with a WIP UI component (bug 946022). For the platform components, I expect this feature to be land by Fx32 behind the dom.requestAutocomplete.enabled pref. On Android, the ETA (with UI) is Fx33.
