Fan,

The autofill add-on doesn't install any buttons or menus to the browser itself. To use it, the user basically have to go to Addons->Prefernces dialog of the Autofill extension. Then the user will need to fill in the appropriate user information that he wants to be auto-filled in the Main tab. Then click the Advanced tab and he can configure what shortcut he would want to use to fill. Then when a user goes to a website like www.hotmail.com, or any web forms, then just do Alt-J using the keyboard or shortcut he assigned, the information will be filled in automatically.

I know this sounds a bit complicated, but it is not really a bug, but this is how the add-on is designed to work. What we can do for the MID browser is to add a Auto-Fill button somewhere instead of using the Alt-J keyboard shortcut, so that would be considered a UI enhancement for the add-on. In my personal opinion, I am not sure if that's appropriate, because the MID browser's UI is already so cramed, or we can lower the bug status to LOW and state that this would be a feature request for the extension itself. let me know what you think.
