Firefox 126. Sadly the formsave utility doesn't seem to work even on the test site yamllint.com

where save butto? fill ??

I asked Mozilla Forum what happened to an old addon called Lazarus, which allowed retrieval of recently entered text on a form. Two addons were nominated and I tried both: **Simple Form History** showed a menu topped by search terms submitted an hour before to Google, while **FormSave** produced a popup menu with my recently submitted comment text as the first item, and I clicked to retrieve into a blank form in that website. I don't know how broadly FormSave will work--so I give it 4 stars here-- but Lutostag may want to broaden its name and utility.

It doesn't work on Youtube

Cannot recover multiple form fields at once, cannot handle checkboxes or radio boxes. Cannot delete multiple entries at once.

It's great, but it would be better with absolute time-date like 23/04/2018 23:57
And with all Database in text file - or export to text?

Sorting is fixed... thanks!

Works on one of two sites, im using often. Facebook.com does work. Brieffreunde.de does not work. www.kialo.com does not work. If this is not working on sites with great amount of text, its pretty much useless.

Like most others, I use it as replacement for Lazarus and although different, it is useful.
But I just discovered it doesn´t capture the Write window on Google Gmail. I once more fell victim to the common plague of focusing on the keyboard while typing, and not noticing, that the typed text had been accidentally marked by a swipe on the trackpad. I had been typing quite a lot and was knocked down to a state of depression by the incident.

So, please fix this ASAP!

Thank you!

Request: Could you ad an exclusion list for certain sites and the possibilities to click directly on the URL in the "widget" to go back directly to the URL where where the text was typed ?

Regards :-)

Das Programm ist absolut überflüssig. Keinereli Ersatz für Lazarus. Ich nutze weiter FF in der letzten Version, wo Lazaurs noch ging, und werde nicht weiter updaten bis es einen akzeptablen Ersatz gibt.

The title of this review is the question I have in mind. I find the add on having saved a gazillion of forms but not the last one I am looking to find. It's not even saving this text I am writing. Shouldn't this little text box be the first that the author verifies it is working? I mean, if it doesn't work with the text box in the Firefox add on review form, how can you give it a higher rating?

The fact is that I use it only because an older add on I have isn't getting updated and does not support multithreading. Not because it is any good. Unfortunately.

So I only hope that one day FormSave will be an add on that you can trust that it will save what you are typing. For now, it's usability is questionable. I only keep it on my browser only for the lack of alternatives and no other reason.

+1 star since my last review, since the UI evolution was exactly what I requested: thanks for listening.

For further improvements:
I would like to be able to redimension the "pop-up" and is columns, but maybe that's a Firefox limitation.
In particular, the "date" column is too wide on my display, and the "URL" one not wide enough.

Also, in replacement to the URL column, or as an addition, I think the column with the Page Title would be useful.
TextArea Cache Lite does offer that.

Finally, the column sorting should be remembered (and should be "from most recent to oldest" by default, in my opinion).

... does work now a lot better, thanks a lot!!

as mentioned by others, there's still UI improvement possible though. :)
but still, this is usefull, now where lazarus is dead.

btw, here @addons.mozilla.org it still doesn't work.

It works very well, even if the UI is not very beautiful :) ...

Hello,

As Lazarus stopped working after FF 53 got installed, I decided to use the apparently nice suggestion of this addin. I have restarted the browser, just in case.

This addin, in my case, does not save anything. I just occupies a place in the tool bar.

Nice decoration !!!

What a waste if time, Alberto
