Autofilling on Firefox Android not working

[asmodean]

Hello,

I recently switched from Chrome to Firefox on android, and one of the things I've noticed is that autofilling no longer works . I've tried both regular and nightly versions of Firefox for android, with no avail. Autofilling still works in Chrome. Is this a known issue, or is there anything I can do to fix this?

 

Cheers

Hey @asmodean

Enpass autofill works only with that browser which provides accessibility events. This technical limitation is preventing us from auto-filling in other browsers (Firefox, in your case ) and that's why you've to search and fill the details. You can also opt to manually fill the logins in Firefox with Enpass Keyboard.

Cheers!

Thanks for the response. Do you know if there is there any way to enable sharing of accessibility events with firefox from within Firefox?

Akash, could you please file a bug report on Bugzilla?  Seems to be a huge oversight on Mozilla's part.

Shouldn't you be able to use Autofill on Android Oreo to enable this for Firefox as mentioned here?
