DL's Autofill Forms addon into FF7 on Windows 7. It appears to be working fine except for one aberrant entry. Although I do not have any entries into the "Company" field profile, and I have disabled that field, when filling in a form, my full name appears in the "Company" field.

I'm not sure if Firefox is saving the URL of the page where you enter form data, but merely saves the name (id) of a field and if the same input field name appears on another web page then that data may get offered as a fill suggestion. If a web site uses a common name then you may get that problem.

Thanks for the forum info. So far, I've tried a few suggestions from another helper, to no avail. Explanation seems to be that it is not bug within Autofill, but rather some web pages not being setup to a certain standard. I'm going over to the forum to see what they have to say...
