> Firefox now prompts users in the US and Canada to save their addresses upon submitting an address form, allowing Firefox to autofill stored address informatio

  I don’t use Firefox often outside of cross browser testing, and this initially surprised me a little too. But as a software developer, my second thought was “well yeah, there are probably thousands of potential features like that which they will or won’t get to eventually, like basically every other software project”.

  It's had autofill, I think just the prompt is new?

  It's been a feature for years, so I don't know what the announcement is about. E.g. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1267609 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1267609

  Firefox still won't remember and autofill my credit cards even though I know it's a feature they offer in other countries, it's a feature offered in my country by other browsers and it's even a feature they mistakenly expose in the settings page of some but not all of their browsers (mobile only, if I remember right), despite not working.

  What would be really nice is the ability to clear form data separate from search history. Even better would be the ability to disable saving form data while saving search history. e.g. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1167882 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1167882

  protip: you can enable this in other countries through some options in about:config https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Features/Form_Autofill https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Features/Form_Autofill
