Hi David, Firefox has a feature to store and suggest form and search history. I think you should see suggestions based on entries you've made in other form fields with the same name (so if they are both named "email", Firefox should show the same list). This assumes you keep this feature turned on and don't clear that kind of history. See: Control whether Firefox automatically fills in forms.

There is also an address autofill feature for some regions (not all address formats are supported): Address autofill on Firefox.

But Firefox doesn't have a feature to fill any text of your choice in any field of your choice. You probably would need an add-on for that. I use this one that integrates with the right-click context menu:

There might be others that are more automatic.
