    Recently, using Firefox Quantum and Google Search, I entered in the search bar, "450 grams," wanting to know the equivalent in ounces. The page opened up with the correct conversion, but after a second or two, the amount in grams was replaced by my email address (I use Gmail). When I used DuckDuckGo for the same search in Firefox, this did not happen. Nor does it happen if I use Chrome. It seems to me that I noticed this same behavior before upgrading to Quantum, but I won't put money on it. I also noticed in Gmail, if I try to move a message to a saved folder, my email address populates the "move to" box. Both items are annoying, to say the least. I hope somebody can explain these curious happenings and offer a fix.

    Version 1703, build 15063.726. I'm on W10 Home, 64 bit, and Windows Update says I'm up to date. Firefox Quantum 57.0. I'm guessing the answer is in a Google setting, and I just may have done it myself, although I rarely mess with what's working. I find this autofill issue on my HP tablet and my Dell desktop (W10 Pro, 64 bit).

    I've received all the updates as stated and I use W10 Pro 64bit. I got Quantum as soon as it was released and TB is 57.0b2 (Beta) and all work smooth as.
    Check your operation after you get the newer/latest updates.

    Problem solved. I logged out of LastPass and all my ills were cured. Well, at least these two. Now to write to LastPass for an answer.
