autocapitalize=“none” doesn't work for <input type=“search”> in Firefox on Android

Question

This simple code doesn't work in Firefox on Android as expected:

 <input type="search" autocapitalize="none">

Expected behavior: input value is not automatically capitalized

Actual behavior: input value is capitalized

Am I missing something or it's a bug in Firefox on Android?

PS. I just noticed that SO code snippets don't work on mobile, here's the live demo for testing purposes: https://gleaming-kitty.glitch.me/

Answer 1

This does in fact seem to be a missing feature on Firefox for Android. Here's the bug report. Feel free to vote and add yourself to CC (or maybe even contribute a patch).

I also made a simple demo for testing the autocapitalize attribute:

Answer 2

I would try autocapitalize="none" and autocapitalize="off" simultaneously.

If that still doesn't work then there is probably a bug in the version of Firefox for Android you're using.

Answer 3

I've been struggling with this issue before and for I found out that For Android you need to use autocomplete="off"

<input type="search" autocomplete="off" autocapitalize="none">

Give it a shot and let us know if it worked.

Answer 4

The autocapitalize attribute was introduced for Safari in iOS and Starting in Chrome 43 for Android is also supported.
