Under Settings > Logins and Passwords, Autofill in Waterfox is enabled. However, when I go to a login page and tap in either the username or password fields, no option to autofill appears.

I can confirm that on me. All looks enabled, but autofill does not work AGAIN. It's the second time during past few months, when this problem occurs. Why???

Try Iceraven
It works, is fast and has latest security fix. And is not so obscure as Wasserfox, you can update it via FFUpdater too.

This is a Waterfox bug report. How is using another browser going to help Waterfox fix this issue?

Better do anything (else) when you can't do nothing with devs ignoring us totally.

I also confirm this issue (seems to be BUG!) after upgrading to 1.0.9.2 via Google Play Store, too.
With below upgrading process:

  1. When upgraded to 1.0.9 (or 1.0.9.1?) (previous version of 1.0.9.2 at Google Play Store), Waterfox crashes every times.
  2. I tried to remove-after-install (a.k.a clean install) Waterfox for this buggy version three times, but this bug didn't resolved.
  3. Browserworks published 1.0.9.2, fixed that critical BUG.
  4. I install 1.0.9.2, this didn't crash, mostly works.
  5. Re-setup passwords and logins (and somethings) from Waterfox for Desktop (Linux AMD64, G6.0.x) via firefox-sync.
  6. Logins and passwords synced to android successfully.
  7. But, this issue, logins and password don't fill at login form only WITHIN WATERFOX automatically, need to input by hand.
  8. Within another applications, auto-filling password seems to be working (but not auto inputting login-name (?_?))
  9. So, I delete Waterfox for android at once, after I install (and sync from Desktop) again (at least three times).
  10. But issues reproduce from 7.

Please fix this issue ASAP, because inputting password must use with copy-and-paste (via system's clipboard), THIS MAY MAKE SERIOUS SECURITY HOLE by some applications periodic watching clipboard.

BEST REGARDS,
Ohta.

@Artanejp have you noticed they don't respond for issue reports here?

The issue persist since latest Waterfox version on Google Store - 1.0.9.2 which wasn't updated since 18th September.
In the meantime all Firefox clones were updated few times.
I just changed to Iceraven.
Btw. Try FFUpdater from F-droid.
