1. The form autofill functionality that fills forms up on a page. The first is more problematic since the code lives somewhere in toolkit and is written mostly in C++.
I filed an enhancement bug for what I think is the common case: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=525612
2. The Form History Editor used to edit/delete/correct mistakes. The second is possibly solvable (with some restrictions) since it's just front end UI code. We could even crib off the Form History extension there.
That was the suggestion here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=525791
The main caveat is that the toolkit form history implementation has no concept of a "form" (!!). In the old XPFE form filler for each unique webpage the component stored the URL and the fieldname/value pairs together. In the toolkit implementation only fieldname/value pairs are stored and these could be used for any webpage that contains those fields.
I seem to recall that generic fields like "street address" just worked on different URLs in the XPFE implementation (?).
I think an interim workaround is to port the Firefox Form Autofill extension which (I think) uses it's own storage format and allows autofilling whole forms as well as it's own editor to access stored forms data.
Auto-fill of whole forms sounds interesting, but that's not the most common case - usually, you just want to fill in common fields, like street address, email address, etc.
