autofill extension for firefox?


trying to find an extension for firefox that will automatically fill in information in forms, particularly when shopping online (name, address, credit card info). i had been using the very good autofill extension, but it has not been maintained for some time. on a related note, how can i make sure that i'm installing a legit extension and not some malware?

ok, so i look at the source and see a whole bunch of code. since i'm not a programmer (like 99% of computer users), none of it means anything. now what?

If you see suspect software, but can’t interpret the code, why not post it (or a link to it) here, and ask if anyone sees something awry?
