    I have been using informenter for firefox for awhile. adding an MTurk profile with some text many surveys ask for has been a real typesaver. MTurk ID, age, yob, native lang etc. it can makeup letter/number passwords some surveys ask for too. though your partial MTurk ID works well there.

    when enabled, it puts a small icon after every text field on a page. click it to choose which text to add. you can click it to add the text in the current field to the current profile.
    goto tools menu or addons to edit or select or add a new profile in the informenter options.
    it hasn't been updated in awhile, but works ok in latest firefox.

    some lastpass type password managers have browser integration and can fill forms to the same effect.
    look for lastpass competitors to find others.

    there are similar extensions for other browsers.
    and probably others for firefox.

    you can get scripts that remember and auto fill forms.
    not recommended as it is too easy to get the wrong info and hit a submit by mistake. but it could be good for some selected batches if you're careful to double check.

    nobody asked, but this has been a help to me over the past few weeks. and, I am much less stressed about filling in the wrong info or worse mistyping my MTurk ID and not getting paid!

    why is the script forum hidden?
    I can't remember which page has the script button on it. searching for script seems like an anti navigation pattern.

    I use Texter, and I love it.
