How can I get my Autofill to work?
How can I get my Autofill to work on Firefox for Windows? I have installed fields whilst completing forms manually but nothing results from this!

Hi, go to the 3-bar menu > Options > Privacy, and make sure 'Remember search and form history' is selected. Also see: Control whether Firefox automatically fills in forms. And: Firefox doesn't save web form entries
If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you!
Seems to save entries but does not insert them into a new website form!
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
- do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
Safe Mode also disables Autofill which I then cannot test to see if it fills in forms correctly!

Are you talking about 'Autofill' - the addon ?
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/autofill-262804/
In that case :
The developer hasn't updated his add-on since 2013, so you should really contact him and ask him to update (and migrate the add-on to Webextensions)

Maybe you could try the support site or the support email ?
The site I found did not have any method to contact!

How about the support email link ?
You could consider switching to 'AutoFill Forms' (WebExtension) :
