For anyone who stumbles across this and is having the same issue I am, I figured out the solution (for my case):

I tinkered all weekend trying to find a solution and finally figured out what the problem is. Using Arkenfox (which is a set of custom settings applied to Firefox for added security/privacy) actually breaks this functionality intentionally. Specifically, the following setting is turned on using the custom config to disable accessibility services:

/* 2601: prevent accessibility services from accessing your browser
* [1] https://support.mozilla.org/kb/accessibility-services ***/
user_pref("accessibility.force_disabled", 1);

I found that this setting (disabling accessibility by setting the value to '1') prevented autofill from working. After switching the value back to '0' (as is default in Firefox), autofill began to work again.

Hopefully this can help anyone else who may run into this in the future.
