Overview

  • If you are like me and you love using Google Toolbar, there's one thing you must like more than anything else; Autofill. It would just take me one click to automatically fill an online web form with my personal information including my name, address, phone number, E-mail address and other required information. In today's time, shopping online has shaped up as a major trend. Naturally, I like to follow this trend, as I can easily get whatever I want from the comfort of my home. I don't have to spend hours shopping for stuff outside. Instead, I use that time for more productive things. However, one thing about online shopping that no one likes, is filling out all the registration fields manually every time. This is where AutoFill Forms come in handy. AutoFill Forms is a Firefox add-on that helps you fill out web forms, much like a Google Toolbar.

    Once you have configured the add-on, simple go to your Firefox add-ons and click on “Option” under AutoFill Forms. This will give you a new window, in which you can fill out several personal information fields, to help you out next time you go shopping online or any other online stuff that needs you to fill out forms. The AutoFill Forms button will show on your toolbar at the top. Any time you face the need to fill out an online form, simply click the AutoFill Forms button from your toolbar and voila, it's done! This amazing tool automatically fills out the complete form for you. It will only show you a pop-up in case the form comprises of an unknown field or a question.

    What's more to it? AutoFill Forms gives you the option to set up separate profiles. This allows you to use different sets of information depending on different type of sites. How great and innovative is that? My personal experience with AutoFill Forms has been outstanding. It gets the job done for you every single time!

For example if you want to find an input area which has - name - attribute in it, simple write - input[name] - as the CSS selector rule. Or, as a more sophisticated rule, consider an input element with includes username string in its class. To find this element simply write - input[class*="username"] - as the rule. The addon will then uses these rules to find the specified elements and fill out the forms with desired values.

Pressing on this button will add an empty new line to the options page UI. Please fill out all 3 fields for this new line in order to make it active. Next button (colored red) is for erasing all rules. Please be aware that, this operation is irreversible and you cannot get the erased rules back again once you cleared them.
