Rated 2 out of 5
by Balmung, 9 months agoHave the same problems as Michael R. The menu is slow as hell, the drop down didn't works as it should and Firefox (Win10) hangs often for seconds. No impact on performance as long the menu is closed. Makes it hard to use at all. When it worked as it should it was a clear 5 Star Add-on for me. Hope the author can fix that problem.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Henning, 21 days agoWorks fine for me (Win7, FF 115.16.1esr (64-Bit)). Saved entries can bee seen and copied, deleted (automatically after a period), and exported as file.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Michael Rabinovsky, 10 months agoI have been using this addon for so long I can't remember. It has saved my hide on countless occasions. Unfortunately, it no longer works right (I will try to add an issue to github). The interface takes half a minute to load, it doesn't fit the popup screen it opens, the last text entered is saved, but the drop down can't be accessed to see any history. On top of that whenever I open it and try to exit it, the entire browser hangs. If I wrote this review three years ago it would be five stars, I'm giving it three star for its utility, but in its current state it really deserves to be one star because it doesn't work.
- Rated 5 out of 5by 4EverMaAT, a year agoSaved my bacon on several occasions. As sometimes you submit a form after typing a long essay and then some error occurs or the page "expired" or some other non-sense and you must start all over. Important: you must limit the amount of days to save....so that the database doesn't get to large and crash. I recommend 6 months maximum (181 days). Author should have a default of 1-3 months.

- Rated 1 out of 5by wyz, 2 years agoTextarea Cache was once a necessary and often used Firefox extension, but sadly doesn't seem to work anymore on my Linux distribution. What's the problem?

- Rated 4 out of 5by Droiyan7 (Yi, JoonHo), 2 years agoIt's a very useful and irreplaceable extension. Please update it to make it works properly again in the latest version of the Firefox.

- Rated 4 out of 5by mr. sparkle, 3 years agoThe main issue I have is it only caches the text when you hit a key. Anytime there's a keystroke it saves instantly. The option "interval to save text" does not work. So if you accidentally highlight the whole comment and hit a key it'll delete everything and then boom your cache will be empty. This has happened to me a few times. I'd much rather it save using a time interval to prevent this.
Addon hasn't been updated in over 3 years so that's likely why it has issues. Still, it's better to have this than not have anything. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17270184, 3 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16321275, 3 years agoI have not relied on this much but it has saved my butt a few times and I avoided retyping everything in a text box. There have been a few places where it did not save the text but it seems to work most places. Also, as one previous 3 star review pointed out, the copied recovered text often includes a bunch of html code which is annoying. It's still better than retyping a long entry and you can delete the coding or I think you can highlight and copy the recovered text rather than using the "copy" button to avoid this problem.
