Autofill is restricted to same-domain (roughly) so how can they track users "around the web"? Other than not being cleared when cookies are cleared, how is this technique more powerful than a cookie containing one's email address? Autofill is an extremely, extremely convenient browser function, and the fact that Firefox's current implementation doesn't always do the right thing (e.g. offering me 3 choices of username and, when I pick one, 3 choices of password rather than autofilling the one which matches the username, </grump>) is a source of regular frustration. Let's not break the usability more. Gerv _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
