How can I get AutoFill to automatically fill in fields? Fairly simple question!

I have this Google form:

I want only want these 3 required fields populated automatically:
Email *
Facebook name *
Paypal email *

In the extension's option, I created a new AutoFill profile (named "Basim"). I then refreshed the google form webpage, click on the extension button, selected my new profile, filled out these 3 fields, and then clicked on "Generate Autofill Rules."

I thought that I could simply refresh the google forms page and it would automatically fill out these fields each time, but nothing happens. When I right click on the extension, click on "Options," I see that the above 3 fields have been automatically added to the "Form Fields" tab.

The only way to get it to work is by right-clicking the extension button, clicking on "Execute Profile" and selecting "All" -- then magically it fills out the forms. Why aren't all profiles being executed each time the extension senses that I'm browsing to the site docs.google.com/forms? It seems the extension recognized the boxes and which information goes where, but why is it not executing automatically so that it's not a manual process to autofill the data?

FYI - All of my options are default (haven't been touched). I saw in the FAQ there is an extensive write-up about Google Forms (https://www.tohodo.com/autofill/help.html#faq-q8). I can't seem to follow along to that. Perhaps it is outdated or I'm not technically savvy enough?

Has anyone else got this to automatically fill out any Google Forms before without going through all of that? Thanks in advance for any/all help.

You may have a site filter that's too restrictive, or you may have Manual Mode enabled.

Please provide screenshots of Form Fields and Other Stuff tabs.

Would appreciate any further help on a setting that I am missing.

Uninstalled extension due to lack of support. Thanks anyway.

Ticket can be closed.
