What would be ideal would be Firefox auto-completing as it renders the page a user is viewing. Problem pages include sites that use externally (i.e. non-local server) hosted adverts, or sites that use solutions that ask users to view a 1px x 1px image for tracking purposes. Often laggy, it can be a pain to have to wait for these un-imporant elements to load before Firefox places password / username information on websites login boxes. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
This may be a good idea but some people may not always want to use the same username and passwords all the time on certain websites and have several that are available in the Password Manager. This then means that they would have to do twice the amount of 'clicking' to enter the username and password that they wanted to use.
