Autofill Adresses
I'm using version 57.0 beta and have noticed that, in the privacy and security section, forms & passwords, there is no longer available the Autofill addresses option. Will this be re-instated?

You know : I don't remember this option being In Privacy & Security either, but it must have been there - see this article :
Automatically fill in your address on forms
You could (for now) toggle those prefs in 'about:config' , as mentioned under 'For Testing' here :

here is a screen shot of the options page...
Such a feature has never been there on the Options/Preferences page.
If you had it before then it might have been added by a form-fill extension that isn't compatible with Firefox 57+ (i.e. is a Legacy extension).
You can search the Addons website for a 57+ compatible WebExtension.
Would you please take a look at this article (especially the section 'Feature Availability') :

To Happy112 - Before 57.0 I did have the Form Autofill option, but as you can see from my screenshot provided that option is no longer available.
To Cor-el - it was never an addon - see Happy112's link on FF features.
So, I'll take this as a glitch in the 57.0 beta that I hope will be corrected with the next update.

Thank you for the suggestion - took me a minute to figure out how to do this, I didn't know I had to type the about:config in the address bar...
A note though - it says to toggle the features, however for the first suggestion I actually had to modify it to be "on", the second line was able to be toggled to true.
Thanks again for your time and suggestions.
Here is a screen shot of before the modifications.
And after - I now have the address autofill option - Yeah!
I should have explained about the 'about:config' and not have used the word 'toggle' - just assumed you knew about this 'stuff' (sorry !)
But : you got the option back - well done, you !
Thank you for that screenshot - sure put a great big smile on my face !
