Fill in Web Forms Quicker

InFormEnter

The other day, my sister said that the only reason she was using the Yahoo! toolbar with Firefox was for the auto-fill function that my brother-in-law liked.

At the time I did not know of a separate extension that would do the same thing. Well, I am happy to say after a little searching – I have found one.

The InFormEnter extension promises to save all of your important information so you can enter it into Web forms as you need or desire to.

InFormEnter adds a small, clickable icon next to every input field in a web form, from where you can select the item to be inserted – no typing required. You can configure it to display your frequently used information such as name, email, address and whatever else you want to be available from the form menu.

I might have to add this to the short list of extensions I use on a daily basis. It makes it really handy when you have a lot of Web forms to fill out.

    The Autofill extension is also a good solution. You can find it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/184/

    The latest version hasn't been updated yet to work with FF2, however it can be made to work by unzipping the .xpi, editing the maxversion line to 2.0+ and rezipping. It works without problems in FF2. I use it to prefill forms and then make any changes using InFormEnter.
  • Hey Brent, thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to check it out as soon as I get the free time to do so. From just looking at the Web page though it does look pretty interesting.
  • Sxip Identity also provides a Firefox extension, Sxipper, to help manage Internet identities and pre-fill web forms. It supports OpenID and has a community of "mappers" that map a form's fields to identity properties for the benefit of the next Sxipper user to load the form. It's currently in beta at sxipper.com
