- Rated 5 out of 5by Willet, 6 days agoI am delighted to find this add-on fully functional again. I had become reliant upon it before changes to Firefox software rendered it inoperative.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Jon F, 4 months agoWonderful extension that has saved my butt many, many times over the years and I'm sure will do so for many more.
Very glad for this extension and also glad to have chipped in a few Euros from time to time. Thank you Stephan for the work you have put in for a real life saver, and please know it is appreciated. - Rated 5 out of 5by bege1, 5 months agoSeeehr hilfreich, spart viel Zeit, wenn ein längerer Text, bevor er abgeschickt wurde, warum auch immer plötzlich verschwindet. Funktioniert sogar auf Firefox für Android, auch wenn die Oberfläche dafür (noch?) nicht programmiert wurde und deshalb ein bisschen umständlich zu bedienen ist. Aber immer noch besser, als lange Texte gerade auf dem Handy neu zu tippen.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17717074, a year agoThis module SAVED AGAIN MY WHOLE LIFE TODAY !!!
I was encountering two bugs simultaneously, one locally in Firefox, messing up displayed data (cache issues), and one in my hosting provider service, mixing up creation and modification dates ... so, I was not editing the file I thought (kind of wiki thing, online web page editor). So at the point I thought I had lost 1 to 2 months of INTENSE WORK, I visited this module, to check if by huge CHANCE it had saved any data recently ... and, the plugin pointed out that since 1 week I was editing the wrong file (with Firefox showing the wrong URL in the address bar), and then I could prove that my web server was showing creation dates in the modification column.
I was about to release my project sunday night.
Without this plugin, I would have lost 2 months of work (1 for preparing the project, 1 working on it), and because I am short of money, I would have been forced to abandon it ... at less than 60h from launch time. - Rated 5 out of 5by jchronakis, a year ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Dibou, 2 years agoSaved my life so many times that I am rather indulgent vis a vis the few malfunctions I sometimes encountered.
- Rated 5 out of 5by DudeGuy, 2 years agoWorks exactly as I need it to, good job! I used to use Lazarus on FF years ago, and have been using Typio on Chrome, now that I'm making the move back to FF, this is exactly what I needed.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Mister GothFvck, 2 years agoThis addon has saved so many long threads and e-mails. I'm so glad it exists and have recommended it to many people.
I imagine many computer screens have not been smashed because FHC saved entries when machines froze. lol. - Rated 5 out of 5by asdkofoaweifiwae, 2 years agoForm history is epic and the only replacement for lazarus but it keeps on giving itself its FF shortcut commands back! Despite going into about:addons and deleting its currently active shortcuts, those shortcuts are restored after this extension is.. updated or saved somehow.

- Rated 5 out of 5by ML, 4 years agoThanks a bunch! It's been a life saver at least 6 times for me now.
One request though: Please make it so you can select text again in the 'Form field' window (the window with View: HTML, Markdown, Wiki, Text). I used to be able to do this many versions ago (I guess 6 months ago?), and it really helped to partially grab stuff. There's another specific case where copying the HTML from the Markdown notation actually works better than the default way of 'Restoring Editor fields' (via Context menu) for one particular site I use with a WYSIWYG editor for Invision forum software.
It's entryview.css 'user-select: none;' on body{} - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15918521, 4 years ago(X) Free & Open Source
(X) Functional, tweakable
My only warning is that it can save some very personal data, and AFAIK it is not stored encrypted, so be cautious, especially when websites take credit card details or passwords in plaintext without correctly telling the browser to not store these values.
The default clear time is some 90 days which seems far to long if you forget to clear such sensitive data. I would recommend reducing it down to your longest browsing session (time until you close all your tabs and start again), which for me is a few days. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12166271, 4 years agoThis is a wonderful extension. The developer is to be commended.
