I have a name composed of four parts, two given names and two surnames. Firefox stores the entire name as a single string, but when populating an HTML form it parses the name as three given names and one surname. This forces me to backtrack and correct the error in the form before I submit it. It'll do this even if I've already entered my name in the form and then select a suggestion for a different field, undoing the work I already did.
Preferably, Firefox should store names in saved addresses as first name/last name pairs. When saving an addresses, most forms already prompt for first and last name separately, so Firefox would not have to parse the name to determine which parts are the first name or last name, and similarly when populating a form it would not need to do this either. Even if a form had a single name field that would need to be parsed to split it into first and last names, I'd only need to edit the saved address once to correct the information therein, instead of every time I interact with an HTML form.
Thanks in advance for your consideration. -- Carlos
