Disables form autofill to fix unspecified 'bugs' in Firefox, is there a less disruptive way?

	// fix autofill bugs on page refresh in Firefox
	let form = telInput.closest('form');
	if (form) {
	form.setAttribute('autocomplete', 'off');
	}

Is this still relevant? It breaks preserving the form value during session restore / undoing tab close, as well as autocomplete suggestions, for our other form fields.

I can't tell what the bugs mentioned were because the commit message or the comment don't specify.
And, if said bugs still exist, would it also be possible to turn off autocomplete just for the tel input instead of the entire form, or otherwise solve this in a way that's not as disruptive to the user experience?

I might be able to contribute a fix, but not if I don't know what problem this code is supposed to solve in the first place.
