Answer 1

First of all you have to find out the ID's of the fields you want to fill.

Lets for example take the registration form on the linkedin website.

In Firefox a simple right click on the desired input followed by the key Q will get you to the Inspektor and highlight the clicked input. Here you can see the ID of the element.

In my case it was the input first name. The ID of this element is firstName-coldRegistrationForm.

With this information you can simply type the following in your console and My Text should be the new value in the input.

document.getElementById('firstName-coldRegistrationForm').value = "My Text"
