Bug#850773: xul-ext-kwallet5: Doesn't work with firefox "non-ESR"
My system just updated to Firefox 52.2.0, and passwords are no longer autofilled. I found that after installing version 1.3 (from AMO), it works as expected. The only issue is finding the source code. There is an SVN repo, but it doesn't have the latest version. I tried contacting the author, but the CAPTCHA on the contact page is broken.

Hey, mmh very interessting. Can you try to inform upstream about this issue? Codewise I can't see why the autofill chagnes with the plugin. Best Regards, sandro signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Thanks for your help. I installed the same firefox on another computer, without the kwallet plugin. There are at least some sites that autofill username and passwords without the kwallet plugin, but don't work with the plugin. For example, https://www.powells.com/login . I can confirm that on both machines (the kwallet machine and the non-kwallet machine), I have a stored username/password that can be viewed on the preferences screen. They autofill on the non-kwallet machine. They do not autofill on the kwallet machine.

The detection of what field to automatically fill is out of scope of this plugin and a bug of firefox itself. You can see this, if you disable the plugin, firefox will still don't autofill your passwords for these specific sites. In my case the autofill works for most sites, but unfortunately not for all. If the autofill works without kwallet plugin but don't with kwallet, that it make sense to look at it closer. Best Regards, sandro signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Package: xul-ext-kwallet5 Version: 1.0-2 Followup-For: Bug #850773 It doesn't look like manually updating to the current version of the addon (1.3) helps either. Have you tried that?
