Allow automatic login after forms autofill

[Luca_Pavan]

It's really great and useful to save passwords and that they are written automatically once their correspondent page is opened but I'd really like that then the login is done automatically. For making it even more advanced, it can be set that once a webpage that has a login page is opened Firefox knows that usually the user clicks that login button and then after autofilling it logs in, this saves 2 clicks, so both the login page button and the login button.

Hey @Luca_Pavan , this is autosubmit feature, when "submit" (Login) button is clicked for user after filling other fields. It's both appealing and creepy, especially if browser can start autosubmitting when user didn't intend to. For example, a pinned tab will attempt to load the page, autofill can fill login there and autosubmit would login for user ...just because they restarted the browser. Or what if there are more fields to fill and submit attempt will not work? Or if saved password is wrong, so attempts to login multiple times can lock out user.

It would make sense to have "Autosubmit" checkbox in bookmarks, so user can express that they are okay to autosubmit for this particular bookmark only. What do you think?

I'd set a checkbox somewhere directly on the saved password page, in bookmarks it would be out of context. And then that way the user can log in automatically from each individual password, so it avoids unwanted login as you pointed out to me. I proposed this feature because many websites don't access automatically after autofill like some already do.
