I tried looking at the source of the web page to find out the names of the fields so I could make the user and login info appear automatically.

Basically on this site you log in with your email (which can be mapped to the username field), and your password is automatically filled in by a cookie i think. But that's not the issue. When trying to auto-detect the fields, it detects "display_name" as the user field and "password" as the password field. The "display_name" field is not needed for login, but the "email" field is. I tried using your add-on to change the mapped username filed to "email".

The settings were saved, but now my e-mail appears in the "display_name" field on the web site when I click the "Sign On" button (top right).

It seems that your add-on insists on going with what it "thinks" the username field is using the auto-detect method, instead of using the field name that I specified.

Here is the source of the page that I checked to make sure I found the correct field name:

==============================================================================================

Email

Name

Sign in

Password

Sign in

Sign in

==============================================================================================

Maybe I read it wrong, but it looks like the tag is used with the "name=" property to determine the field name. In which case the name of the email field is "email". The only thing I can think of is that the "display_name" and "password" fields are on top of each other, so maybe to your add-on it looks like that would be the logical user/pass combination???

Anyways.... nice add-on. I use it all the time and 99% of the time it works great. Most sites i go to, the auto-detect fields button does the trick, so I have never run into this issue before.

Thanks again for your hard work.
