Is there a browser extension for Firefox or Chrome that can copy the form fields values from one page and paste/autofill them into another page/tab containing the same or similar form? Any suggestions for another way to achieve it are welcome too.

I found a way, fairly quick. I used Firefox and the Autofill Forms addon. Having the two forms, let's call them "form1" from where I want to copy the values and paste them in "form2", I had to execute manually the following steps:

  • Open form1
  • Right click in an input field and choose "Add complete form as profile ..."
  • Delete the "Site url" text and press Enter
  • Open form2
  • Press "Alt+J" to fill out the form.
