InFormEnter - Firefox Add-on of the Day
by Ryan Sullivan Feb 8th 2007 at 3:30PM
Tired of constantly having to type in your username to log in at the forums? What about your name and address when you want something shipped to you? Well type no more! Instead, use two clicks of your mouse with InFormEnter.
With this extension you create an initial list of things that you might normally be entering into a text field to replace the generic suggested terms. For example, a common username for logins, your zip code, your home address, first name, last name and so on. Then, when you encounter a text field, such as in a Google search or an order form awaiting input of your home address, all you need to do is click the blue arrow to the right of that text field and a small pop-up menu will present itself with a list of the items you set up. And, if there isn't something in your list, there is an option for adding the text that is in the text field to your InFormEnter list. You can make it as long as you want or as short as you want. But the most useful things on my list are my multiple email addresses, home address and a few different usernames for the different sites I am a registered user at. You can also use this extension to remember the last password that was entered in the text field. This is a great extension and makes surfing the net easy with a little bit less dependency on the keyboard.
With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

Anybody know of a (free) extension that will fill in the whole form automatically with preset defaults? Automatically for me doesn't rule out a context menu entry like 'Fill in this whole form'.

I've been really happy with Roboform for the past few years. It's well worth upgrading to the pro version too (unlimited passwords and form filling IDs versus 10 for the free version).

I've been using FF's Formfiller and Remember Password for months without complaint.
Prior to those, I've used PhraseExpress and back in the day Roboform, but I believe I'm set now.
