Autoform

Autoform is an extension which lets you enter details into a form once, then never again! This extension is a great time-saver, you just have to enter the form fields, click the save form button, and a unique ID is generated for that particular form - the next time you need to fill it in just click the load form button - magic!

The main use I have made of this extension is debugging scripts - you can, for example, save all invalid data and then just load them up again when your script has been modified - saving you getting frustrated from typing the same thing for the 500th time!

This extension does, however, have a few limitations. The first is that it takes up a whole toolbar space and cannot be moved onto an existing one - irritating because it doesn’t even use half of the horizontal space. The other limitation is that it generates the ID based on hashing the current URL and form name and fields - so it will generate the same ID for the same form and URL every time, which means it overwrites previous entries. A nice addition would be to be able to have multiple IDs for the same form, so that you could have one for invalid data, one for erroneous data and one for testing combinations of other testing data, etc.

Because the functionality is pretty limited I have given this extension 3.5 stars.
