onUsernameInput currently does:
`
var acForm = acInputField.form
`
_autoCompleteSearchAsync currently does:
`
let form = aElement.form;
`

Both of these doesn't work if the input isn't in a field. These method needs to be able to get a FormLike for the username field. In the meantime, autocomplete for username fields outside of a real <form> won't work.
Flags: firefox-backlog+
_autoCompleteSearchAsync really just needs the form action origin which we know for FormLikes is the same as the form origin.

We can fix this using the new API added in bug 1192081:
`form = FormLikeFactory.createFromField(inputElement);`

onUsernameInput code to be changed:

_autoCompleteSearchAsync code to be changed:

Tests can be added to toolkit/components/passwordmgr/test/test_basic_form_autocomplete.html:
e.g. add a fake "form" with a <div>:
`
   <div id="form11">
     <input  type="text"       name="uname" id="uname11">
     <input  type="password"   name="pword" id="pword11">
     <button type="submit">Submit</button>
   </form>
`
to test <form>-less autocomplete.

Sorry about the delay. I'll try look at this ASAP. End-of-cycle work has been distracting me.

Hi Andrew, would you be interested in working on other password manager bugs?

* Bug 1058438 is a bit bigger but not overly complex and would cleanup quite a bit of custom code.
* Bug 1217134 involves a bit of CSS and markup and is nice polish for a feature we'd like to ship.

You can find me as MattN on IRC if you would like other suggestions or help.

Thanks
