Release Note Request (optional, but appreciated)
[Why is this notable]: New feature
[Affects Firefox for Android]: No
[Suggested wording]: Firefox can now suggest securely generated passwords from the context menu and autocomplete (on supported sites)
[Links (documentation, blog post, etc)]: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Toolkit:Password_Manager/Password_Generation#Firefox_70_.28Desktop_only.29
- autocomplete support is limited to sites using
autocomplete=new-password

The prefs should be set in firefox.js, not all.js, so it's not enabled on Android: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/15be167a5b436b57fef944b84eef061d24c1af8c/browser/app/profile/firefox.js#1737-1748

As an FYI, the dev-doc-needed password is only to do with MDN documentation; we don't have anything to do with updating WikiMo. And I'm not sure who does do that ;-)

Right, I wasn't wanting anything documented on the wiki, I provided a link to the feature documentation.

This is what I thought could be documented on MDN.

Gah, sorry for the misunderstanding; Friday tiredness! I'll get this put into our next sprint.

- Added to Fx 70 release notes
- Added Fx70 info to Turning off form autocompletion
This bug does not appear to affect browser-compat data, since the new-password value was supported since 67.
