import java.awt.HeadlessException;
import java.sql.*;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;


public final class NavigateRecords extends javax.swing.JFrame {

    ResultSet resultSet;

    /** Creates new form NavigateRecords */
    public NavigateRecords() {
        initComponents();

        try {

              //create the connection object
              //ATTN: username and password must be changed depending on the settings on your database server
              Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/books", "root", "");

              //create a statement object.
          //We will use this object to carry our query to the database
          Statement statement = connection.createStatement();

              //exexute our query, which will lead to the return of a resultset
          resultSet = statement.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM authors");


              if (resultSet.next()) {
                loadRecord();
              } //end if

              else {
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "There are no records in the database");
              } //end else
        }//end try

    catch(SQLException sqlex) {
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, sqlex.toString());
            System.exit(0);
    }
    }

    public void loadRecord() {

        try  {
            String authorsID = resultSet.getObject(1).toString();
            String authorsFirstName = resultSet.getObject(2).toString();
            String authorsSecondName = resultSet.getObject(3).toString();

            authorIDTextfield.setText(authorsID);
            fnameTextField.setText(authorsFirstName);
            lnameTextfield.setText(authorsSecondName);    
        }
        catch(Exception ex) {
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "ERROR " + ex);
        }

learn about JDBC, or better yet JPA.

And do split your code into multiple classes, makes things so much easier to maintain and debug.
Also, keep class fields and methods separate, fields at the top, then constructors, then methods. Organised code is a lot easier to read.

I see no statement updating your db, so it's no wonder your DB isn't updated.
