I tried to switch to Firefox, but I fill out a lot of forms, and it doesn’t have autofill for them. It makes it very slow and frustrating. I’ve searched for solutions to activate it, add ons for it, etc to no avail. It seems that function may only be available in the US? It’s strange to have such a basic feature missing.
Firefox absolutely can auto fill!
Well, it would appear the Android version can’t, at least not in Australia.
I haven’t noticed this myself. Did you look inside settings?
Very thoroughly, there’s settings for autofilling passwords, but not forms.

Thank you for all your efforts! Unfortunately, I have already looked at the support posts, they refer to settings that aren’t present in my version of Firefox. The add-ons all tell me they aren’t suitable for Android. When I go to the section thay say they are for Android, nothing comes up when I search autofill.
Ah, you’re on Android! In a few months, Firefox on Android will support all extensions. You should be able to use them then.
Nice, thanks for the info!
I didn’t catch you were in android. I think there has been some movement this month to make add-ons now accessible on Firefox Android.
I should’ve mentioned it in the original comment, that’s my bad. I was mostly venting lol. Sounds like it’ll be sorted shortly, hopefully before Chrome gets too painful to use.

It is sad, but through the events of the last few years (Reddit, Twitter, politics) companies have realized they can do whatever they want. While they will lose a significant portion of users, the mass majority will stay. The ones that leave are the ones they can’t abuse and they don’t want them anyway. Profit is better taking advantage of the complacent and losing the activists than the other way around.
Anywho, I will move to Firefox just like I moved to lemmy. Although I’m not sure moving to Firefox actually fixes anything other than giving Google less money. Now I just need to figure out how to have a phone without apple or Google getting a peice.
google pixel 5 bought used, unlock the bootloader and flash it with grapheneOS. download Firefox with AdBlock and use fdroid and aurora store (found on fdroid) for apps.
Does it run all the android apps? Like, the one off apps for like my fridge, security cameras etc…?
No offense, but wtf does someone need an app for their fridge?
2023 is the year of self-implosions. Time to switch to opera
That would be either Firefox or LibreWolf then since all the others including Opera are Chromium based under the hood. Let’s support true Open Source.
