Zer0_II Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 I'm looking for a Firefox extension that would function the same as the magic wand in Opera. There's a few features in Opera that keep me from leaving it for Firefox. This is probably the most important one. Does anyone know if such an extension exists? It would definately make life easier.

IceDogg Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 excuse my ignorance, but what does it do excatly? I know it's a password manager type of thing, but what function exactly are you looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zer0_II Posted September 15, 2005 Author Share Posted September 15, 2005 Whenever you fill out your username and password for a site Opera will ask you if you want to save the info. Whenever you return to that page you can just click the wand button and it will automatically enter your username, your password, and log you in automatically.

semifamous Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 That's built into Firefox. You try to log in and Firefox will ask if you want it to remember your info. You say yes, and it does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceDogg Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 And when you go back to that site, you don't have to push a button (on the browser). It automaticly fills out the info and waits for you to hit enter,go or sign in whatever it is for that site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA 586529824[/snapback] How much ever some ppl claim FF has it in-built, there's nothing till now including an extension that can do what Opera's wand does. I posted this very same Q long time back and yet to find something close to it. All the current form filling extensions for FF suck compared to Opera's wand.

Although I appreciate the attempt the people above made to help, I do not think they realize just how kick ass the Wand is. I am very familiar with Firefox and how it handles logins. However it still just doesn't compare to Opera's wand. In some cases Firefox is not able to remember the information, and when it does it doesn't automatically log me on.

IceDogg Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I didn't know you was talking about forms. Yes, Firefox doesn't handle that very well yet. I have to agree. It's a pain sometimes. But for logins, it's always automatic for me. Sounds like the wand is awesome tho if it's better then what Firefox does with passwords. Not enough for me to leave Firefox though. Also what version of Firefox are you using? Because I know that 1.5 beta+ handles them better then 1.0.x versions do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrisCr0ss Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 the login one for firefox works great for me... i guess the need for the "wand" isnt so great. I mean u can use google toolbar (firefox extension to fill forms) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefox's built in password storing feature just isn't the same. I seriously doubt that the google toolbar does the same thing either, but I will check it out.

That is supposed to be the killer form filler thingy - though I don't use it as it doesn't work with Opera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
